State and local officials, alongside Cajun Broadband, today announced the completion of a broadband deployment project in Vermilion Parish, connecting businesses in some of the parish’s largest sectors, including agriculture, healthcare and manufacturing, and delivering access to households in places like Gueydan and Erath.
Funded through the Granting Unserved Municipalities Broadband Opportunities (GUMBO) 1.0 program, the project brings reliable, high-speed internet access to 509 homes and 27 businesses across Vermilion Parish. Supported by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Capital Projects Fund and administered by ConnectLA, GUMBO 1.0 expands broadband access in unserved and underserved communities statewide.
