After executive session, Henderson County approves Brightspeed completion timeline and $466.15 per‑premise rate

Henderson County Commissioners Court · August 26, 2026

Summary

Following closed‑door discussion of ARPA broadband litigation, the court unanimously agreed to accept a Brightspeed target completion date of Sept. 4 and a $466.15 per‑premise rate provided Brightspeed supplies a completed premises list by Sept. 25, 2026.

After convening into executive session to discuss pending litigation and ARPA‑funded broadband deployment, the Henderson County Commissioners Court reconvened and approved terms the court described as intended to finalize remaining broadband work.

A commissioner moved that the county agree with Brightspeed on a Sept. 4 target to complete and activate as many locations as possible and to agree to a $466.15 rate per premise provided Brightspeed submits the premises‑completed list by Sept. 25, 2026. The motion carried unanimously. The judge said the action was part of working to bring the project to an amenable conclusion for all parties involved.

The action follows discussion in executive session about litigation and the county’s ARPA-related broadband grant work; the court recorded its vote and directed staff to follow up on the conditions tied to the vendor’s submission.
