Light Up Livingston broadband: county reports 100 miles of fiber hung, milestone filings underway
Summary
Planning staff reported construction progress on the Light Up Livingston broadband project, with 100 miles of fiber deployed across two service areas, milestone filings with the state under way, and five installed customers as of April 27, 2026.
Planning staff briefed the Public Services Committee on the Light Up Livingston broadband deployment during the May 5 meeting, reporting construction and administrative milestones reached on the county's municipal broadband program.
According to the update, crews have hung roughly 100 miles of fiber—64 miles in Service Area 1 and 36 miles in Service Area 2—and daily work is increasing as weather permits. The county’s Milestone 2 filing (for reimbursement) was submitted on March 13, 2026 and is under review by the state ConnectALL Office; the audit from Bonadio was returned without issues. The Planning team said milestone 3 filing would follow once 170 miles of fiber is in place, with an anticipated date of May 15 assuming continued progress.
The update also covered operational metrics and outreach: as of April 27, five customers were installed under the MIP (Municipal Infrastructure Program) with six orders pending. The county has scheduled a range of municipal meetings to present the project, and marketing and customer sign-up efforts continue via the LightUpLivingston.com site. The Planning Department noted coordination with utility companies, permitting and make-ready work, and ongoing reimbursement discussions with the state’s ConnectALL Office.
The committee did not take a formal vote on the update; staff presented the status for information and next steps.
