Raytown, Mo. approves Google Fiber
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Last night, the City Alderman in
Raytown, Missouri
voted unanimously to bring Google Fiber to their city. Raytown is the tenth Kansas City-area expansion we’ve announced, and we hope to bring Fiber to more communities in the area, too.
It will be awhile before we can hook up Raytown residents—we need to plan and build our network there first. When we have more info, we’ll be sure to post it here.

Another local expansion into Gladstone, Mo.
Monday, May 13, 2013
Recently, we’ve welcomed a handful of new Kansas City-area Google Fiber communities—and tonight we get to welcome yet another. The
Gladstone, Missouri
City Council just voted to bring Fiber to their city, too.

As we’ve said before, it takes awhile to plan, engineer, and start building our network in new communities, so it will still be some time before we can hook up our Gladstone customers. We’ll publish more info here as we have it.

Grandview, Mo. — our newest Fiber community
Tuesday, May 07, 2013
Tonight, the
Grandview, Missouri
Board of Aldermen voted to bring Google Fiber to their community. Grandview now joins the growing number of areas in and around Kansas City that will have the opportunity to get Gigabit Internet speeds (up to 100x faster than the average American broadband connection) with Fiber.

Welcome, Shawnee, Kansas!
Thursday, May 02, 2013
This evening, the
Shawnee City Council
voted to bring Google Fiber to their city.
Shawnee, which is
right outside of Kansas City
, is known as a tight-knit community and a great place to do business. We’ve also been impressed by Shawnee’s vision to keep their citizens informed and involved using the Internet. Recently, the City
modernized their website
, so that locals can easily access city info—from crime maps to fiscal reports to streamed audio of city council meetings.
This is a great example of how access to information via the web can help make communities stronger. Google Fiber—and widespread connectivity throughout Shawnee—will be a great complement to the great work the City is already doing.
We still have a lot of planning and engineering work to do before we’re ready to bring Fiber to Shawnee, so we don’t have an estimate for when service will be available yet. We’ll be sure to publish an update here as soon as we have it.
