Fiber is being placed in the ground in parts of Boone and Callaway County. The concrete foundation has been poured for the Millersburg hut, and an order has been placed for racks and other interior equipment. Preparations have also begun for construction of the Fulton hut.

Construction is underway! Miles of conduit piping for fiber optic cabling has been delivered by the truckloads. Construction crews will begin burying the fiber next week.

Much progress has been made in the planning stage of the project since the announcement. Initial construction surveying has begun to determine exactly where the fiber will be buried. However, at this time, we are waiting for the environmental clearances we need from the federal government to begin construction. When we get environmental clearance, we will be ready to begin placing fiber in the ground.
