The work we do goes beyond building fiber – it’s about strengthening the communities and local economies we call home.
That’s why we are incredibly honored to receive the 2026 Economic Development Award from the Montrose Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). While we don’t do what we do for the trophies, this recognition from the Montrose community reminds us of why we show up to work: to build a stronger foundation for the places we call home.

the Western Slope’s Future
When we talk about economic development, it can sound like a corporate buzzword. But to us, it’s personal.
It’s about ensuring that a small business in downtown Montrose has the same digital tools as a skyscraper in Denver. It’s about making sure our region isn’t just keeping up but leading the way.
By investing millions into our local infrastructure – from Montrose and Delta to Grand Junction and Farmington- we’re helping create an environment where:
- Local Businesses Thrive: High-speed fiber allows our neighbors to compete on a global scale without ever leaving the Western Slope.
- High-Paying Careers Stay Local: We love showing the next generation that they don’t have to move to a big city to find exciting tech and construction jobs. With fiber, the future of work is right here in our own backyard.
- Community Roots Grow Deeper: As a company where 100% of our team lives in the communities we serve, we know that a healthy economy means more resources for our schools, our parks, and our families.
A Shared Success
This award isn’t just a win for Clearnetworx, it’s a reflection of the strong partnerships we’ve built across Montrose. From working with city leaders to collaborating with local contractors, we know that building a world-class network takes a team effort.
That team is made up of our neighbors! By hiring local subcontractors and keeping our support teams right here in the communities we serve, we ensure that our investment stays local. When we win, our communities win too. Better internet means more than just faster downloads; it means our local businesses can connect to the world, our schools and hospitals have the tools they need to thrive, and our families stay better connected. Every mile of fiber is an investment that allows our local economy to remain resilient and vibrant for years to come – and that’s worth it.
