St. Armand board endorses regional broadband buildout along State Route 3
Summary
The Town Board voted unanimously to support a proposed broadband buildout through St. Armand along State Route 3 that would extend service to Franklin County and toward the Clinton County border; the motion followed an email request from Franklin County staff.
Supervisor Davina Thurston relayed an email from Melinda Ellis of Franklin County seeking cooperation to extend broadband through Essex County along State Route 3 to reach the Town of Franklin and ultimately Clinton County. The plan would fill gaps in service, including areas where about 27% of the Town of Franklin lacks broadband.
Councilperson Sheridan Swinyer moved and Councilperson JP O'Neil seconded a motion to support the broadband buildout. The board voted unanimously in favor. The minutes do not include engineering details or a funding commitment; they record the board's formal support only.
