CONSIDER USE OF RDA AND/OR PUBLIC FUNDS FOR INSTALLATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE

Blaine Lutz, Finance Director, has researched various scenarios of how to get a telecommunications hub constructed in Centerville at approximately 725 North and 1250 West. This telecommunications hub site would allow for expansion of fiber optic service into the gateway area and other parts of the city, including the future Shorelands Commerce Park.
