Comcast Expands Its Community Impact in Bridgeport, Milford, Norwalk and Stratford
Comcast is expanding its state-of-the-art network across Connecticut, bringing Xfinity and Comcast Business services to homes and businesses for the first time in Bridgeport, Milford, Norwalk, and Stratford. Beyond delivering Internet, mobile, entertainment, and security services, the company is building meaningful relationships in the community by supporting local nonprofits, mentoring youth and participating in neighborhood beautification projects. Comcast believes that lasting impact happens by showing up and investing in the communities it serves.
“Connecting people is what we do and that goes well beyond technology,” said Dan Glanville, Vice President of Government Affairs and Community Impact for Comcast’s New England Region. “Every connection we make is an opportunity to empower, uplift, and grow together.”
“Our teams live and work in these neighborhoods, so giving back isn’t just a priority, it’s personal—especially for me as a Norwalk resident,” added Beverly Elliott, Vice President of Business Development for Comcast’s New England Region. “We’re excited to actively engage with the people and organizations that make our communities special.”
