Broadband contractor activity reported; court appoints two to extension council
Summary
Officials said a Gibson County contractor with permits is boring for broadband lines through parts of Carlisle County; the court also appointed Tina Todd and Steve Deach to the county extension council and discussed customer connection costs.
County officials reported that a broadband contractor working through Gibson County has obtained required permits and has been boring in parts of Carlisle County, flagging gas lines and preparing to extend service into central areas of the county. Officials said the work could bring service to parts of the county that previously lacked connections; no firm service date was announced.
An official relayed a customer estimate from the provider West Kentucky of $6,600 to bring a service line to a private residence, noting that providers use standard methods to calculate individual connection costs. Officials said the county will continue to coordinate with providers and relay cost information to residents.
Separately, the court appointed Tina Todd and Steve Deach to the county extension council by unanimous voice vote.
What’s next: officials expect the contractor to continue boring activity across the county as permits allow; residents who receive cost estimates were advised to contact the provider directly for details.
