Fiber Optic Project Throughout Town

The fiber optic project is ready to begin. This is Brian, with Drover Construction, who will be knocking on doors ahead of the boring/construction to tell you about what is going on and see if you are interested in being connected once the fiber optic line is installed.

Fiber optic will be installed throughout the entire town, including Kyd Road and Colter Trail. This is a big project, it also encompasses the Wheatland area, Price Road, KOA/Vandolah subdivision, Bunny Trail and then down the Trooper David DeLaittre highway into town, as well as from Price Road to Old Town.  Just giving you a head's up!

The first phase of this project within city limits will begin work in the alleys all down 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Avenues East from Oak to Ivy Streets.

Second phase will run down the alley between 4th & 5th Avenues East, then snake around between 5th and 7th Avenues East on Oak, Neal, Ash, Birch, Cedar, Date, Elm, Fir, Grove, Hickory and end on Ivy.
