new-board-of-works-and-public-safety-hears-update-on-installation-of-fiber-optic-lines
Joined for the first time by new board members Val Phares and Tom Reaves, Furgeson asked for updates on several projects within the city.
Hoosier Fiber Networks continues to install fiber optic lines to improve broadband connectivity in the community.
Approximately 1,400 homes can now access the fiber optic network with the company nearly completing its focus on the city’s southeast side. Construction will be concentrating on the city’s southwest side next according to a Hoosier Fiber Networks representative at the Board of Works meeting.
The company will be adding additional crews working to install both aerial and underground lines. The project is slated to be completed in Shelbyville by the end of 2024.
The Board of Works also received updates on construction projects along Mechanic St. and at Five Points along Miller St.
The meeting concluded with new Shelbyville Fire Chief Doug Lutes announcing the retirement of firefighter and former fire chief Todd Anderson after 34 years of service.
