Silver Star outlines fiber plan for Star Valley Ranch, aims to start construction spring 2025
Summary
Silver Star Communications told the Star Valley Ranch council engineering for its fiber project is complete and construction is planned to begin in spring 2025, with plats 4 and 5 targeted for 2026; the company requested weekly progress meetings with the town.
Mr. Eric Heap, representing Silver Star Communications, told the Town of Star Valley Ranch council that engineering for a planned fiber installation is complete and the company expects to "begin construction and installation in the spring of 2025." He said the rollout would proceed as homes are ready and that plats 4 and 5 are expected to be finished in 2026.
Heap asked for weekly meetings with town officials to provide progress updates and coordination. The presentation included a construction timeline and an installation sequencing plan; specific contract, cost and homeowner-installation details were not specified in the meeting record.
Why it matters: high-speed fiber can affect property values, emergency communications and local internet capacity. Councilmembers did not take action on contracts or approvals during the presentation; the item was presented for information and coordination.
What’s next: Silver Star asked for weekly progress meetings; the council did not schedule a formal vote or contract award during this session.
