The Pella City Council approved an agreement to connect fiber to UnityPoint in Grinnell at their meeting this week. Assistant City Administrator Corey Goodenow says a contract with Excel Utility Contractors for $1.2 million will allow Pella Fiber to provide gigabit internet service to all residents and businesses in the corporate limits in early 2021. Goodenow says the connection to Grinnell will be complete by the end of October.
