What is the fiber project timeline?

SVEC is working with contractors who will assist with the make-ready design for the fiber network, as well as obtain the necessary easements from the property owners along the routes.
Contractors assisting with the SVEC fiber project can be identified by an “SVEC Contractor” magnet on their work vehicle, as well as other SVEC identification that may include a vest or letter of authority with appropriate SVEC contact information for members who have further questions.
Build out of this project will occur in segments over the next several years. Contractor field work began in September 2021 in existing SVEC easements, as well as making door-to-door visits in those areas to obtain updated, signed right-of-way agreements from the landowners, where necessary.
Make-ready work includes SVEC’s engineers and contractors assessing the suitability of existing poles for attachments. Engineers must evaluate the structure of the poles to determine whether additional attachments can be made without changes.
