Mead, CO — July 15, 2026 — Mead, Colorado has long been cherished for its quiet charm, agricultural roots, and breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountain foothills. But as Northern Colorado grows, Mead is quickly transitioning into a highly connected, modern hub.
At the center of this expansion is Mead Place, a 154-acre mixed-use master-planned development located at the northwest corner of Highway 66 and County Road 7 (14175 County Road 7, Mead, CO 80542). This landmark project is bringing a dynamic blend of lifestyle and business to the area:
New homes come from the Cottages, Legacy, and Estates collections by Risewell Homes, while the 29-acre Mead Place Commercial district is set to become Mead's newest hot spot for retail, dining, and professional services.
For a development of this scale, outdated copper and coaxial cable internet simply won't cut it. That's why Lightgig is bringing its 100% fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-business network directly to Mead Place — whether you're moving into a new Risewell smart home or setting up a retail storefront on Highway 66.
Modern homes and businesses require serious digital horsepower — from smart home security, multi-device 4K streaming, and remote schoolwork within the highly-rated St. Vrain Valley School District, to cloud-based POS systems and guest Wi-Fi for new local businesses. Traditional internet providers rely on old-school copper lines that choke under heavy usage. Lightgig uses a 100% fiber optic network, transmitting data at the speed of light for a virtually lag-free experience.

Mead Place sits at the corner of Highway 66 and County Road 7 — just 15 minutes from downtown Longmont, minutes from St. Vrain State Park, and with quick access to I-25. Families here fall within the highly-rated St. Vrain Valley School District, while the Mead Place Commercial district brings retail, dining, and professional services within easy reach.
As Risewell Homes completes new construction across the Cottages, Legacy, and Estates collections, and new storefronts open along Highway 66, Lightgig's fiber network ensures every household and business starts out with gigabit-capable connectivity from day one.
