Maupin’s publicly owned fiber-optic network has made COVID-19 challenges more manageable and could accelerate the exodus of workers from cities.
Lynne Ewing, mayor of the 430-resident town of Maupin, saw a lot more faces this year than usual. Located by the Deschutes River in Central Oregon, Maupin is known for summer sports like fishing and whitewater rafting. Nearly one in three residences are vacation homes, though they were mostly full this year as workers fled the cities – something that would not have been possible without the town’s new, publicly owned fiber-optic internet connection.
The network is the result of a four-year collaboration between the city, telecommunications company LS Networks, Hood River internet provider Gorge.net, QLife, a government agency that promotes fiber-optic network solutions, Google and the Gorge Health Council.
