Canaan says nearly $400,000 in federal funds will pay for last‑mile fiber to about 115 homes
Summary
Town Supervisor Brenda Adams said federal funding approved for 2026 will support the final, last‑mile fiber build that will reach roughly 115 homes in Canaan; construction steps are expected once engineering and procurement complete.
Supervisor Brenda Adams told the board that federal grant funding for the town's broadband project was approved for the 2026 fiscal year and that the award—"almost $400,000"—will fund the last‑mile fiber build to reach the remaining households without service. Adams described the multi‑year process to secure the grant and said the project is now at the final steps before construction.
The grant is targeted to extend high‑speed fiber access to roughly 115 homes in Canaan that currently lack service, Adams said. The board discussed next steps with the project consultant and confirmed approval of an engineer to proceed; specific construction schedules and contractor notices were not set during the meeting.
