Clearwave Fiber to Celebrate Launch of Network in Bay County with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

BAY COUNTY, Fla., April 8, 2026 — Clearwave Fiber will celebrate a major milestone in its Bay County network expansion with a ceremonial ribbon cutting marking the launch of its 100% Fiber Internet service. The first residential customers’ high-speed Internet will be turned on in the coming weeks in Lynn Haven.

The event will include a donation to Rutherford High School’s robotics team, the Catastrophic RAMifications, during a Bay County Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours event on Tuesday, April 14.

The community‑focused celebration highlights Clearwave Fiber’s commitment to supporting local innovation and strengthening STEM education opportunities in Bay County. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with local business leaders and enjoy demonstrations from the Rutherford High School robotics team, featuring student‑built robots and technology‑driven problem solving. Refreshments and live entertainment will be provided.

“Launching our 100% fiber internet network in Bay County is about more than faster, more reliable connectivity. It’s about investing in the future of the community,” said Shelley Hallier, senior vice president of marketing at Clearwave Fiber. “By supporting programs like the Catastrophic RAMifications, we’re helping empower students with the skills and resources they need to become tomorrow’s innovators and technology leaders.”

Clearwave Fiber continues to invest in expanding fast, reliable 100% Fiber Internet across Bay County, including Panama City, Upper Grand Lagoon, Callaway, Parker, Lynn Haven and Pretty Bayou. New Fiber construction is bringing high‑speed connectivity to previously underserved neighborhoods, with additional service areas expected to go live in the coming months. The company is working with local leaders to support economic growth, education and technological advancement throughout the region.

“Access to reliable, high‑speed Internet is essential to the continued growth and success of our communities,” Hallier said. “We’re excited to expand our network in the Florida Panhandle and provide residents and businesses access to our superior Fiber network.”

The Business After Hours event is complimentary for Chamber members and prospective members and will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Panama Country Club, 100 Country Club Drive, Lynn Haven, Fla.
