Commissioners approve Mainstream for fiber-only contract; company to begin house-by-house connections in Montpelier
Summary
The board authorized Mainstream to hold the fiber-optics contract limited to fiber service; attendees reported Mainstream’s main fiber is in Montpelier and that the company will begin door-to-door connections to bring service to residences.
Commissioners voted to award Mainstream a contract limited to fiber optics, rather than a broader services contract, on a motion by Dan Borgenheimer that passed 3–0. Meeting notes state Mainstream’s main fiber optic line is already in Montpelier and that the company will begin door-to-door outreach to connect homes to the network.
No contract dollar amounts or timetable were recorded in the minutes; the action appears focused on limiting the scope to fiber optics only rather than additional services. Warren Brown separately noted grant funding for a senior center and an EPR donation that accompany broadband rollout planning.
