Chantel project: construction underway, budget pressures and two remaining rail crossings
Summary
Chantel representatives told the Broadband Authority their 2022 grant project has reached about three‑quarters completion, with contract extension to September 2025, substantial construction underway, higher make‑ready costs and two remaining Norfolk Southern railroad crossings affecting a small number of homes.
Chantel (regional project partner) told the Broadband Authority that its 2022 grant build in Campbell County is in active construction, with most design and permitting substantially complete, but the project is over budget and two Norfolk Southern railroad crossings remain unresolved.
Jessica, speaking for Chantel, said the project targets 3,509 previously unserved locations and roughly 320 miles of new plant. She reported a contract extension to September 2025 and said most design and permitting work is complete. “All of our design and permitting is substantially complete,” Jessica said, and the project team is “full on construction mode.”
