Newdale resubmits fiber-optic grant application; council agrees to proceed if residents bear no cost
Summary
City staff said a previous fiber-optic grant with the City of Teton was denied and a new application was submitted; the council agreed to proceed with next-phase planning provided there would be no cost to Newdale residents.
Dave Thompson told the Newdale City Council that a previous fiber-optic grant application partnered with the City of Teton was denied and that he had submitted a new application with a deadline the following day. Thompson recommended moving forward with the next phase of the project and seeking funding sources.
Mayor Chad Stevens polled council members, and members indicated they would support proceeding so long as the project would not impose costs on city residents. No formal vote or funding commitment was recorded during the meeting; the council asked staff to continue pursuing grant and funding options.
