Board authorizes Dryden Fiber executive to sign easements for underground broadband work
Summary
Caroline Town Board authorized the Dryden Fiber Executive Director to sign easements with property owners for underground broadband construction, recognizing Dryden Fiber's primary build approach is aerial but that underground access may be needed.
The Town Board on April 16 approved Resolution 91 authorizing the Dryden Fiber Executive Director to execute easements with property owners for underground broadband construction where aerial placement is not feasible. The motion was made by Supervisor Mark Witmer and seconded by Councilmember Kate Kelley‑Mackenzie; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
The resolution notes Dryden Fiber's primary method for extending service is aerial on existing utility poles but that underground construction is the project’s secondary preferred option and may require property easements, which the Executive Director is authorized to sign on behalf of the project and town.
