Lumos pours another $150M into Ohio fiber expansion

Lumos will start construction in 2025 to bring its fiber network to Stark county, Ohio. According to a press release, the $150 million project will see Lumos deploy 2,000 miles of fiber in the region. Stark county represents the third recent investment Lumos has made in Ohio, following a $110 million planned expansion into Summit county, and a $230 million investment in the Mahoning Valley. In April, T-Mobile confirmed plans to form a joint venture with EQT to acquire Lumos. The companies aim to expand Lumos' fiber network from roughly 320,000 locations to 3.5 million US locations by the end of 2028.
