RiverStreet awarded 492 BEAD locations in Middlesex; company outlines FTTH plan and pricing
Summary
RiverStreet, a Wilkes TMC subsidiary, told the authority it was awarded 492 of Middlesex County's 1,728 BEAD locations, will use fiber-to-the-home technology for unserved areas, and quoted monthly pricing at $65, $85 and $110 with Lifeline options; construction dates are pending contract signings.
Robert Taylor, RiverStreet’s director of business development and government affairs, presented a business overview and said RiverStreet was awarded 492 of the county’s 1,728 BEAD locations. Taylor described the company’s focus on unserved and underserved areas using fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) technology and said construction timelines depend on final BEAD contract signings.
Taylor provided service-pricing tiers—$65, $85 and $110 monthly—and noted a Lifeline program structure is available for eligible households. The presentation positioned RiverStreet as a FTTH vendor focused on BEAD-funded locations; the board received the overview and no vote on contracts was recorded at the meeting.
