SCOTT COUNTY

Scott County owns a fiber network, maintained by Access

Communications.

Scott County's fiber network has direct connections capable of

providing 10 gigabit capacity to the Capitol campus in St. Paul

and to the 511 building in downtown Minneapolis, which

provides a portal to the world.

There are three (soon four) fiber exits out of the County.

Utilizing Scott County’s fiber network could l ikely result in a

long term operating expense savings to your company.

Our technical staff would be happy to meet with you to learn

more about your company’s fiber needs and assessing how we

may be able to assist.

BUSINESS PROPOSALS

$6 Million Dollars – GO!

Scott County will contribute the cost of extending the fiber

from its current location to the ADC building, estimated to be

$44,000. Scott County could also assist in providing transport

for communications through this County owned network .

“The goal we had throughout the entire incentives process was to reach a level of incentives that would allow Rosemount to expand in Shakopee rather than

an alternative location which had a lower cost structure. In order to help reach this goal, Scott

County offered Rosemount fiber at a significantly reduced cost from what they had been paying. The

fiber incentive, when combined with the other incentives, surpassed the threshold incentive amount

required to win the project for Shakopee.”

Redundant fiber connections, as depicted on the map below, could be available to the proposed Shutterfly Inc. site. The connections to St. Paul and Minneapolis travel three (soon four) disparate, redundant fiber paths out of the county. In addition to the Scott County fiber network, there are multiple other fiber providers in the Dean Lakes area that could be considered, including Enventis/HickoryTechand Zayo.

“Access to fiber was a primary criteria for our

search. We had evaluated other opportunities in

different regions of Minnesota and elsewhere in the

Midwest, but those locations would have cost

Shutterfly to invest millions in laying new fiber to get

to these areas. Reliable, direct access to our major

data centers are crucial for us due to the nature of our

business. The information that is sent to our digital

printers from the point of origin (ie: the photo book

you may have recently completed) requires a

significant reliable connection .”

“It was very important. I am in a meeting right

now with a non-technology company and they

are telling me that fiber is a top ten

requirement due to their e-commerce.”
