Empire Fiber Internet, a leading fiber optic internet service provider serving communities across New York and Pennsylvania, has officially lit up the Downtown Cortland Wi-Fi Project in partnership with the City of Cortland. Residents, visitors, and local businesses can now tap into free, fast, and reliable public Wi-Fi throughout the downtown district.

Empire Fiber Internet first brought its high-speed fiber network to Cortland in 2024, delivering symmetrical, gig-ready connectivity to more than 5,500 homes and businesses. The Downtown Wi-Fi Project extends powerful, reliable internet access into the city’s most active public spaces.

​”Our partnership with the City of Cortland puts connection within everyone’s reach–residents, visitors, students, and families,” said Kevin Dickens, Empire Fiber Internet CEO. “When fast, free Wi-Fi is available in the places people gather, it strengthens community, expands access, and enhances everyday life.”

Empire Fiber Internet completed new community Wi-Fi installations at Beaudry Park, Dexter Park, and Suggett Park in Fall 2025, expanding fast, free public connectivity across some of Cortland’s most popular gathering spaces.

“As we put the finishing touches on Main Street, it’s exciting to expand free Wi-Fi access not only downtown, but into our public parks as well,” said Mayor of Cortland, Scott Steve. “This project strengthens accessibility, supports local businesses, and improves connectivity for residents and visitors alike.”

These projects deliver free, reliable public Wi-Fi across key downtown and park locations, increased foot traffic and visibility for local businesses, stronger community events supported by dependable connectivity, and modern digital infrastructure that fuels innovation, engagement, and economic growth.
