📢 Service Update – Senior Center Access Point

Last night, the North and South Access Points at the Senior Center stopped passing traffic, which may have caused slower or reduced service for some users.

The good news: MCN implemented backup equipment to keep you online. While service may currently be operating at a reduced rate, connectivity has been maintained.

To ensure continued service, MCN crews were dispatched to the roof of the Senior Center on Christmas Day to address the issue and work toward full restoration.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to keep everyone connected, especially during the holidays. 🎄💙

On September 22, 2025, the City of Fort Bragg proudly welcomed its newest team member — Sage Statham — as he took his Oath of Office. Sage joins the organization as the City’s first Director of Broadband and Digital Infrastructure!

City Manager Isaac Whippy has hired Sage to assist in launching Fort Bragg’s new municipal broadband initiative, a critical step toward expanding high-speed internet access and strengthening the community’s digital infrastructure.

While this is Sage’s first time working for the City, it’s not his first experience with MCN. He began as a technician with MCN in 1997 and later served as its Manager for nearly a decade, bringing a wealth of knowledge and leadership to this new role.

Please join us in giving Sage a warm Fort Bragg welcome to the team!
