Bridging the Digital Divide: Broadband for Rural Michigan
Reliable internet access is no longer optional — it's essential infrastructure for work, school, healthcare, commerce, and public safety. Yet across rural Michigan, dependable broadband and mobile coverage remain spotty or absent. The State of Michigan Tower Program helps close that gap by opening state-owned towers and land for the wireless infrastructure rural communities need.
Why Are Michigan's State Towers So Tall?
More than 140 of the State of Michigan's towers exceed 400 feet in height — far taller than typical commercial cell towers. The reason traces back to their original purpose: these towers were built to carry emergency-services communications across very large areas. That height is now a major advantage for the carriers, internet providers, and agencies that colocate on them today.
