United Communications and Middle Tennessee Electric today celebrated the grand opening of the new Rutherford Operations Center at 1010 Haley Road in Murfreesboro with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce.

The 18,000-square-foot facility will serve as a local hub to support United’s $85 million fiber internet expansion to reach an additional 77,000 Middle Tennessee Electric members in Murfreesboro and surrounding areas. The new operations center will be home to 60 local employees when fully staffed, and many more field employees dedicated to serving Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.

“United’s investment in Murfreesboro is one of our most ambitious projects yet, and we’ve already hit the ground running,” said United Communications President and CEO William Bradford. “The Rutherford Operations Center solidifies our position as the only local internet provider in Rutherford County by establishing a base of operations for our personnel and equipment in the center of this great community.”

“We are enthusiastic about United’s plans and investments for the City of Murfreesboro,” said Chris Jones, CEO of MTE, “and we’re excited to have them set up shop in Murfreesboro and close by MTE’s headquarters.”

According to United Communications’ Chief Financial Officer, Kristin Jackson, the company’s high-speed fiber network has already been expanded to reach 6,000 homes and businesses in Murfreesboro.

“With several projects underway, we are working to bring cutting-edge internet speeds to all of Murfreesboro, ensuring that residents and businesses can benefit from the ultimate speed and reliability while enjoying the best customer service in the industry,” said Jackson. “We invite you to sign up or pre-register at United.net today, ensuring you’re at the forefront as we expand our services to new areas.”
