Lemoore, California, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comcast, in partnership with the County of Kings, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony in Lemoore, Calif., on Oct. 28 to kick off its new rural expansion broadband project. The project will bring Comcast’s reliable, high-speed, symmetrical Xfinity broadband network to over 4,000 locations in Kings County and is expected to be completed by late 2026.
The planned expansion adds to Comcast’s more than $4 billion in technology and infrastructure investments across California in the past three years. This expansion is made possible by an over $21 million Federal Funding Account (FFA) grant from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and private funding by Comcast.
Additionally, Comcast announced a $10,000 contribution to Kings Community Action Organization to help create greater digital opportunities and provide resources to individuals and families to access high-speed Internet and more fully participate in an increasingly digital world.
“We are thrilled that Comcast is expanding its services to Kings County,” said Doug Verboon of the Kings County Board of Supervisors from District 3. “This significant investment in technology infrastructure will support local businesses and enhance our residents’ quality of life. We are thankful to Comcast and the CPUC and look forward to collaborating to bring this broadband project to fruition.”
