important step in WIN’s continued investment to expand and strengthen its services throughout

Southern Iowa, our fiber-to-the-home expansion is creating opportunities for education, business
growth and innovation,” said WIN CEO Jeff Roiland. “This facility will help us better support our
customers, expand our reach, and ensure that rural communities have access to the fast, reliable
connectivity they need.”
Community leaders, local officials, and members of the WIN team gathered for the ceremony to
celebrate the exciting new chapter for the company. Speakers at the ceremony included the WIN CEO

Mayberry and Malvern Mayor Doug Shere. Construction is expected to begin immediately, with the facility slated for completion by the end of 2026.
"We have seen a lot of growth in Mills and Pottawattamie counties, which has created a great need
for this new facility as we add more staff, vehicles, and equipment,” said WIN Director of
Operations Chris Nieland. “From this location, our techs will serve roughly a 30-mile radius north
of Interstate 80, going south down the Missouri border."

communications for 120 years. WIN offers internet, phone, and digital TV services, with a strong
focus on bringing world-class fiber optic connectivity to rural Iowa.
