Union City council backs Broadband Ready Communities resolution to invite ISPs
Summary
Council approved proceeding with a public meeting and a resolution to apply for the Broadband Ready Communities designation, authorizing the Erie Area COG to serve as the borough’s municipal broadband champion.
Union City Borough Council voted to proceed with a public meeting and to adopt a resolution to apply for the Broadband Ready Communities designation, authorizing the Erie Area Council of Governments (EACOG) to serve as the borough’s municipal broadband champion.
Councilors were told the designation creates opportunities for additional internet service providers to enter the borough and that the borough’s permitting requirements are already within recommended guidelines. Councilor Kerns moved and Councilor Joyce seconded the motion to proceed; the motion carried unanimously.
The action directs staff to schedule the required public meeting and to work with EACOG on the application. No specific funding commitment was recorded in the minutes.
