Project

KentuckyWired is a $232 million public-private partnership used to develop a state-wide, middle-mile fiber optic network to connect key end internet users and stimulate economic development by providing broadband technology throughout the Commonwealth.

The offering forged new territory in the P3 market with its unique, first-of-its-kind approach to broadband connectivity on a statewide basis, and was the first non-transportation P3 to use a tax-exempt governmental purpose bond structure that achieved risk transfer.

In 2015, KentuckyWired was awarded The Bond Buyer's Deal of the Year Award and the Council of Development Finance Agencies Excellence in Development Financing Award.
