We want to acknowledge there have been promises made in the past regarding a fiber-to-the-home initiative, which has led to frustration among members. The original plan several years ago would have cost Valley Communications $200 million. Today’s plan is at a more cost-effective price of $40 million to complete the project.
Although we cannot change what was done in the past, we are committed to the future of our membership and ensuring this project is done right. We are confident this investment in all-fiber networks throughout our service territory will serve the needs of our members today and well into the future.
