Lumos Fiber expands service plans in DuPage County communities

The Village of Lisle Committee of the Whole meeting on May 5, 2025, focused on the expansion of Lumos Fiber's services in the area, highlighting plans for infrastructure development and community engagement.

During the meeting, representatives from Lumos Fiber discussed their strategy for expanding fiber optic services across DuPage County, including Lisle. They emphasized the importance of community density in their planning and confirmed that they have agreements in place with several neighboring communities, such as Roselle, Naperville, Glendale Heights, and Bloomingdale. Additional discussions are ongoing with Woodridge and Hanover Park, indicating a broad interest in enhancing connectivity throughout the region.

Lumos Fiber's representatives outlined their construction timeline, stating that work could begin in Lisle as early as spring 2026, depending on the approval of necessary permits. They noted that construction would commence in multiple locations simultaneously, with the goal of maintaining a steady workflow throughout the year. The company aims to install conduit in the ground by fall 2025, followed by the installation of fiber and testing during the winter months.

The meeting also addressed the permitting process, which involves reviews that may take time, especially if floodplain considerations are involved. Village officials expressed their commitment to keeping the community informed about the progress of the project through monthly updates.

Overall, the discussions underscored the Village of Lisle's efforts to enhance digital infrastructure and connectivity, which could significantly benefit residents and businesses in the area.
