The construction of the backbone will provide fiber optic service to 21 businesses and entities along Lewis River Road
The Port Commission will celebrate the completion of the first phase of the multi-phased fiber optic installation between Ariel and Cougar on Fri., May 12 at the Yale Community Library at 2 p.m. The public is invited to come celebrate the completion of the first phase.
The Port of Woodland’s first internet service provider, Reach Fiber Network, will be present at the event to introduce their services to the community. In addition, the Port’s consultant Cannon Construction, for the design and engineering of the phase 2 project, Fiber to the Home, will be present to meet with residents.
“The construction of fiber optics in Ariel, Yale and Cougar will improve public safety, tourism, business and residential quality of place,” stated Commission Paul Cline.
Commissioner Cline was instrumental in bringing fiber optics to the Port’s attention and moving the project forward for those upriver. The construction of the backbone will provide fiber optic service to 21 businesses and entities along Lewis River Road. This phase was funded by the Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB).
Phase 2 Fiber to the Home is underway and will connect approximately 750 residential locations and was funded under CERB and Washington State Broadband Office.
The Port of Woodland is in partnership with the Port of Ridgefield to examine fiber from the Yale Bridge to La Center. This phase will examine the backbone and the Fiber to the Home along the route.
