Summary

Mayor Mark Allen said the council signed a right‑of‑way agreement with Google Fiber, which selected Cibolo as the first city in the area for a phased, six‑year network rollout; staff and residents will be notified as service reaches each neighborhood.

Mayor Mark Allen said the City of Cibolo signed a right‑of‑way agreement with Google Fiber that will allow the company to build high‑speed broadband across the city. "They selected Cibolo as the first city in our area to receive Google Fiber," Allen said, and the company plans a phased rollout to neighborhoods over a six‑year period.

The agreement covers access to city rights of way so Google Fiber can deploy network infrastructure in Cibolo neighborhoods. Allen said residents will be contacted by Google Fiber when service becomes available in their neighborhood. The mayor described the arrangement as a partnership intended to expand access to high‑speed internet citywide.

The announcement did not include specific dates for neighborhood activations, a construction schedule, or details about subscriber pricing and service tiers. The council summary did not list a formal vote tally or include which council member made the motion and who seconded it; the mayor characterized the item as an agreement signed that evening.

Next steps described by the mayor were administrative: implementation work with Google Fiber and notification to residents as construction reaches each area. The council did not provide further implementation milestones in the recap; the mayor said additional details will likely be shared as the project advances.
