Alta Fiber proposes fully buried broadband to cover all Galena addresses
Summary
Alta Fiber presented a plan to bring high-speed fiber to every resident and business inside the Village of Galena with 100% buried construction and a pledge to extend service to contiguous areas annexed to the village; the council received the presentation but took no formal action at the Jan. 27 meeting.
David Kramer of Alta Fiber presented the company’s proposal to extend a high-speed fiber network to all residents and businesses inside the Village of Galena, saying the build would be fully underground and that Alta Fiber would extend service into contiguous areas the village acquires through annexation. A copy of the presentation is available upon request, the minutes state.
The presentation, delivered during the public meeting, described the company’s commitment to 100% buried construction inside the village limits and indicated plans for future extensions tied to village growth and annexation. The minutes do not record any public comment or a council motion or vote on the proposal at this meeting.
Council members received updates on other routine business during the same meeting, including finance approvals and zoning updates for local housing development, but the broadband proposal was presented only as an informational item. The minutes say the presentation materials are available upon request for further review.
The council did not set a timeline or next procedural step in the minutes; follow-up would depend on whether the council places the proposal on a future agenda for review or action by staff and elected members.
