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.

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.
