Cooks and Hills Electric lays out fiber buildout route for Whitefield; roughly 70 homes to be connected
Summary
A contractor described a government‑awarded fiber buildout route in Whitefield that will run along specified streets and is estimated to reach about 70 homes, with the initial phase expected to take two to three weeks.
Representatives for Cooks and Hills Electric presented the scope of work for a government‑awarded fiber broadband buildout in the western portion of Haskell County, centered on the town of Whitefield. The contractor detailed the planned path — listing multiple street segments in town — and said the initial build would connect about 70 homes and should take roughly two to three weeks to complete.
The presenter described the route in sequence (West Alverson to South Bill Street; South Bill to South Glover; Highway 9 to West Wedding Redding; Highway 9 to North Tristan; North Tristan to G. Berryman; G. Berryman to North River, VW Street; a short build on Old Number 2 Street) and said the work would conclude in the Whitefield area. No construction start date or contract dollar amount appears in the transcript.
County members acknowledged the presentation and thanked the representative. The transcript records an explicit statement about the expected household count and construction duration but does not include a detailed budget, bonding or permitting schedule.
Next steps: contractor to proceed according to the awarded scope; typical county practice is to finalize scheduling and to notify residents on affected streets, though the transcript does not record those steps.
