Mercury Broadband To Invest $2 Million In Crawfordsville, Indiana Service Center

About Mercury Broadband

Mercury Broadband is a leading provider of high-speed Internet and digital phone services for homes and businesses across select rural markets in the Midwest. The company was founded in Topeka, Kan. after recognizing a need for broadband services in these underserved markets. A hybrid approach to serving these “last mile” customers was developed by extending high-capacity fiber optic networks with the range, reliability, and flexibility of carrier-class wireless technologies to provide next-generation services to customers.

Garrett Wiseman, co-founder and Chief Executive of Mercury Broadband announced Wednesday the company plans to offer state-of-the-art broadband services to 17,000 residential households and businesses.

“We are excited to enter this new phase of expansion with the City of Crawfordsville and are looking forward to advancing broadband Internet to rural and under-served communities across Montgomery County and the State of Indiana,” Wiseman said. “We are committed to providing affordable services and providing a positive impact in the communities we serve.”

Mercury Broadband has entered into a purchase agreement for approximately five acres of property located on Industrial Boulevard in Crawfordsville. Industrial Boulevard runs off US 231 near Cracker Barrel. The 12,000 square foot service center will have office and warehouse space.

“We are excited to welcome Mercury Broadband to our community and are very pleased that they have chosen to locate their new service center in Crawfordsville,” Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton said. “Mercury will be creating high-quality employment opportunities in the growing tech sector, while increasing connectivity options for residents and businesses in this region of Indiana. We’ve worked hard to attract Mercury to our community, and the types of jobs created by this investment fit perfectly within our strategy to further diversify the types of employment opportunities available locally.”

The company plans to seek a tax abatement from the city for their development. Pending city approval of that, construction on the new site is expected to be completed in mid-2024. Mercury will establish a temporary facility while construction of the service center begins. Mercury is estimated to hire approximately 30 employees.

Customers will be able to purchase services next year in the first and second quarters. Visit www.mercurybroadband.com and follow Mercury Broadband on Facebook and Instagram for updates on the launch of services. You can also contact the company at (800) 354-4915 for more information.
