Liberty Grove pushing ahead for broadband

With the cost of implementing broadband in communities only going up, Liberty Grove Town Chairperson John Lowry wants you to have it sooner rather than later. The Town of Liberty Grove Board will meet in closed session early on in their Wednesday night meeting to discuss the Northport PILOT project. Using the backfeed that is currently helping Washington Island get connected with fiber, the project could potentially bring a strong fiber connection to approximately 60 homes in Northport. Lowry says they are also considering proposals from contractors to work with Insight on a different broadband-related project.

The hope is they could start doing the heavy lifting on most if not all of their broadband projects by early next year. The Town of Liberty Grove meets on Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. inside the town hall.
