Lakewood expansion underway under Nsight; Betram reports buildout complete, USFS approvals delayed
Summary
The Taskforce heard that Nsight is expanding service in Lakewood, Betram completed its build, and United States Forest Service approval delays have held up parts of active projects; the PSC will verify completed service areas before payment.
TEDCOR reported that the Lakewood broadband project is expanding under Nsight and that Betram has completed its build-out. The minutes record that United States Forest Service approvals were slow and caused some delays in project progress.
Sellen said the PSC will verify that service areas have been completed before issuing payments to providers; TEDCOR is the fiduciary agent for the active projects. Committee members noted these verification steps are part of the PSC’s payment process and that slow federal approvals can delay local timelines.
The Taskforce did not take an action to change project scope during the Jan. 9 meeting; members listed project verification and financial-review items for future agendas.
