Commissioners approve fiber-optic right-of-way permits in Indian Harbor and Cherokee Shores as part of ARPA project
Summary
Henderson County approved right-of-way agreements permitting Bridal Speed to install fiber optics in the Indian Harbor and Cherokee Shores subdivisions; commissioners authorized signatures and tied the project to ARPA funding.
Henderson County Commissioners Court approved utility right-of-way agreements allowing Bridal Speed to install fiber-optic lines in multiple streets within the Indian Harbor and Cherokee Shores subdivisions, and authorized commissioners to sign the agreements.
The court first tabled one East Cedar Creek item and then reviewed a detailed list of aerial and buried footage proposed in Indian Harbor and Cherokee Shores. Commissioner Tooley moved to approve the Bridal Speed activity in Indian Harbor; Commissioner Spivey seconded. The motion passed unanimously. The court then approved a larger Cherokee Shores package after reading detailed footage counts across many streets; again the court granted commissioners authorization to sign and approved the activity unanimously.
A county representative stated the work in Cherokee Shores and Indian Harbor is part of the county’s ARPA project. The judge affirmed the ARPA connection, saying, “This is all a part of the ARPA project.” Commissioners did not discuss alternate funding sources during the action. The court did not record any conditions, performance schedules, or specific bond or insurance requirements on the record during the approval.
The approvals included multiple short and long aerial and buried segments (presented in the meeting record with footages by road). Commissioners asked no further substantive questions before voting; both motions passed unanimously.
