Curious about how a small town is turning the corner into a digital future? We're thrilled to have Mayor Spanky and Michael Soileau from LUS Fiber on board to unravel the story behind Church Point's internet revolution. Imagine a town where faster internet is not just a luxury but a catalyst for growth, enhancing remote work, boosting property values, and attracting businesses like never before. Michael shares eye-opening progress updates, including successful installations and exciting hints at future video services. With a federal grant focused on rural innovation, this expansion isn’t without its unique hurdles, but it's clear that Church Point is on the brink of a technological renaissance. Mayor Spanky even lightens the mood with a funny tale highlighting the pressing need for this digital leap.

Our conversation doesn't stop there. We spotlight the incredible synergy between LUS Fiber and Church Point, emphasizing the wave of local support and employment opportunities this project has unleashed. The upcoming customer service center promises not just jobs but a beacon of high-quality service right in the heart of town. This collaboration is more than just a tech upgrade—it's about putting Church Point on the map and brightening its future. A heartfelt thank you to Mayor Spanky and the community for their unwavering support. We can’t wait to visit and celebrate this triumph over a good local meal, cherishing the community spirit that made it all possible.
