Supervisors approve Windstream fiber route north of Clarinda

The Page County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a Windstream proposal to run fiber from the Wall Street area east to a vacant county facility north of Clarinda. Why it matters: The company said the line will connect the former county facility (referred to at the meeting as Willowdale or a similar local property) to upgraded internet service; supervisors voted to approve the request during the meeting. The board reviewed a map showing Windstream’s proposed route and a “red line” corridor northeast of Clarinda. A board member moved to approve the Windstream fiber project; another board member seconded the motion. “All in favor? Aye. Motion carried,” the chair said. Ending: The approval authorizes staff to proceed with the company’s requested work within the county right-of-way; no funding or county match was recorded in the meeting minutes.
