City meets grant deadline for installing fiber

City crews have completed a project to install fiber-optic broadband service to half of a square mile of Chanute, the city manager told commissioners Monday evening. “Hats off to the city employees,” City Manager Todd Newman said. “It’s a huge asset to the city of Chanute.” Newman gave a year-end update on city projects for the commission’s final meeting of 2020, including the Connectivity Emergency Response Grant (CERG) project to install fiber.
