Continuing our “Spotlight on Snyder” series…

In Part 1, we celebrated Poka Lambro’s first year in Snyder and the investment they’ve made in our community. Now, let’s take a look at why that investment matters and what being a more connected community means for Snyder’s future.

Across rural America, Poka Lambro has seen firsthand what happens when reliable fiber becomes available, and the impact reaches far beyond faster internet.

It gives businesses the tools they need to compete. It helps students connect to learning opportunities. It supports telehealth and access to healthcare. It makes remote work more possible and gives families another reason to feel confident about living and working in a rural community.

For Snyder, that connection is an important part of moving forward.

Poka Lambro’s investment gives our community infrastructure we can build on for years to come. It helps make Snyder more competitive for businesses and industries that depend on reliable connectivity, while also improving the everyday experience for the people who already call Snyder home.

And that is what economic development is really about.

It’s not always about the next big project or the next announcement. Sometimes it’s about making sure a community has the infrastructure, partnerships and resources in place to be ready when opportunity comes.

That’s where DCOS is proud to play a role.

Bringing the right partners to the table, supporting businesses that choose Snyder and helping create an environment where people can invest and succeed is part of the work we do every day.

Poka Lambro is a great example of what that partnership can look like.

“We’re honored to be part of Snyder’s story,” Patrick shared. “This is a community with heart, and we’re committed to doing the work right and being a partner for the long haul.”

Drop by their office at 3400 College and thank them for investing in Snyder and sign up for Snyder’s fastest fiber internet.

Continuing our “Spotlight on Snyder” series, we’re celebrating the businesses and organizations that are investing in our community and helping shape what’s ahead.

Today, we’re celebrating Poka Lambro Telecommunications and their first year in Snyder. Their investment in reliable fiber broadband is an important part of keeping our community connected, competitive and ready for the future.

Founded in West Texas and deeply rooted in serving rural areas, Poka Lambro has spent decades doing something many larger providers overlook: investing in small towns and believing in their long-term potential. That commitment is something we’re proud to see right here in Snyder.

At the heart of that work is Patrick Sherrill, CEO and General Manager, whose leadership reflects both practical experience and a genuine care for the communities Poka Lambro serves.

“We’ve always believed that rural communities deserve the same opportunities as anyone else,” Patrick shared. “Reliable, high-speed internet isn’t a luxury anymore. It’s essential infrastructure, just like roads, water, and electricity.”

One year ago, Poka Lambro made the decision to invest in Snyder, bringing that belief with them.

For the DCOS, we’re proud to support Poka Lambro and the investment they’ve made in Snyder. We know how important reliable broadband is to the future of our community, and we’re excited to celebrate their first year here and the long-term commitment they’ve made to Snyder. This is more than fiber in the ground. It is a long-term investment in Snyder’s businesses, families, students, healthcare, workforce and future.

“Fiber touches everything,” Barbara Leatherwood, Executive Director of DCOS, shared. “It supports local businesses, helps attract new employers, improves access to education, and makes everyday life easier for families. Having Poka Lambro here means Snyder has another partner invested in where we’re headed.”
One year in, we’re thankful for the partnership and excited about what comes next.

This is just the beginning.

In Part 2, we’ll take a look at what Poka Lambro’s investment means for Snyder and the opportunities that come with being a more connected community.

Be sure to check back Friday for Part 2.
