Harbor Link receives $45 million investment to complete its Baltimore-Washington D.C. network

On January 28, Harbor Link Holdings LLC announced that it will be completing its 40-mile fiber optic network along the I-95 corridor connecting Baltimore and Washington D.C. thanks to a $45 million investment from Millennium Syndicated Holdings and ROC Venture Group.

Harbor Link CEO Felix Dialoiso said the project is about building a foundation for innovation, and the company reports the network is designed to meet both Department of Defense and hyperscale requirements.

“This network will address the critical gaps in existing infrastructure, ensuring that the D.C. region remains a global leader in connectivity,” said Dialoiso in a press release.

Aaron Stafford, partner at ROC, said the group’s investment is a commitment to future-proofing critical digital infrastructure.

“With the rising demands of cloud computing, and at a time where AI applications now span all industries, this project is perfectly positioned to serve the needs of the largest data center traffic market in the world,” said Stafford in the same press release.

The network was first announced in 2021, and Harbor Link reports that construction is nearly halfway finished. The company plans to bring the network online in the first half of 2026.
