An Alyrica representative reported to the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners on June 18, 2026, that a rural high-speed broadband project funded by $2,697,372 in ARPA dollars, plus a $916,004 match from Alyrica, is on budget and complete. According to the representative, fiber has been placed past all 297 targeted addresses in the county and the company has begun connecting customers.
The presentation was given during Formal Session as part of the Board's presentations. The company's representative described permitting and construction as complete and emphasized that customer connections are underway.
Why it matters
Expanded broadband access is a priority for rural residents and businesses. Having fiber reach 297 previously underserved addresses can affect access to telehealth, remote work and education. The presentation noted federal ARPA funds and a private match; details on subscriber uptake, pricing, and operation were not provided during the meeting.
What's next
No specific board action was required to accept the presentation. Additional program details and connection timelines are expected to come from Alyrica through project outreach channels.
