Summary
The Selectboard approved a resolution to join the NEK Community Broadband (doing business as NEKCV Communications Union District) to speed broadband deployment along Route 242 and appointed Everett McGinley as the town’s municipal representative; the motion passed 2-0-1 with one abstention.
The Montgomery Selectboard voted on June 16 to approve a resolution to join the NEK Community Broadband Communications Union District (doing business as NEKCV CUD) with the stated aim of expediting broadband service in the community. The board identified the Route 242 corridor and adjacent areas as an initial focus for the district’s work.
Charlie Hancock read the resolution during the meeting; the board voted to approve the resolution and to appoint Everett McGinley as the town’s municipal representative. The motion passed with two votes in favor and one abstention (Daniel Kahn abstained). The minutes do not record the reason for the abstention.
Board members framed the move as a step to accelerate access to broadband infrastructure; the minutes record no immediate funding commitment from the town tied to the resolution. The appointment makes Everett McGinley the town’s formal representative to the NEKCV Communications Union District as of the June 16 vote.
The record does not spell out a timeline for when NEKCV will begin work in the Route 242 corridor; the item was presented as an enabling resolution to join the district and provide a municipal point of contact.
