Commissioners approve fiber optic installation in Indian Harbor and Cherokee Shores subdivisions

Henderson County Commissioners Court made significant strides in enhancing local infrastructure during their recent meeting on July 10, 2025. The court unanimously approved a right-of-way agreement for Bright Speed to install fiber optic lines in the Indian Harbor subdivision, a move expected to improve internet access for residents in the area.

The approved project will cover a total of 23,339 feet of fiber optic installation along various roads, including Cheyenne Trail and Comanche Drive. This initiative aims to bolster connectivity in a region that has been seeking better access to high-speed internet services, which is increasingly vital for both personal and business use.

Following this decision, the court also addressed a similar proposal for the Cherokee Shores subdivision. This project involves an extensive installation plan, covering multiple roads and totaling over 2,500 feet of fiber optic lines. The court's approval of this agreement reflects a commitment to enhancing digital infrastructure across Henderson County, ensuring that more residents can benefit from reliable internet services.

Both projects are part of a broader effort by the county to modernize its infrastructure and meet the growing demands of its community. The commissioners emphasized the importance of these developments in fostering economic growth and improving the quality of life for residents.

As these fiber optic installations move forward, Henderson County is poised to see significant improvements in connectivity, paving the way for enhanced communication and access to online resources for its residents.
