Truvista Fiber's Acquisition of the City of Commerce Telecom Network
On April 21, 2026, Truvista Fiber announced a significant partnership with the City of Commerce, Georgia, leading to the acquisition of the city's municipal telecommunications network. This strategic move aims to enhance connectivity for local businesses as well as residents. After the deal is finalized, the network will continue its operations under the name Truvista Fiber.
Driving Economic Growth through Connectivity
The acquisition signifies a new era for the City of Commerce. Dr. J. Clark Hill III, the mayor of Commerce, expressed enthusiastic optimism about the endeavors ahead. He stated, "Today marks an exciting new chapter for Commerce. When we evaluated our telecom infrastructure's potential to support economic growth, education, and healthcare, we recognized the necessity for a partner.

In line with this, Truvista Fiber is set to manage and upgrade all existing network infrastructure.
