Magistrates were given an update and report on the ongoing development of cost-efficient and reliable high-speed internet in the Pennyrile region during Tuesday’s Christian County Fiscal Court session.
In 1956, the Federal Highway Act completely revolutionized cross-country travel in the country developing interstates from city to city and coast to coast.
Now, Christian County, Todd County and Trigg County are in the midst of their own far-reaching changes regarding the information highway in what’s unfurling as a $30 million-plus project for broadband infrastructure through conjunctive efforts from Pennyrile Electric and Hopkinsville Electric System and Energy Net.
During Tuesday morning’s Christian County Fiscal Court session, Judge-Executive Steve Tribble and his squires heard planning and executive updates from PRECC President and CEO Alan Gates, HES-Energy Net General Manager Jeff Hurd, and Energy Net Telecommunications Manager Richard Shaw…all in regards to the continued progress of affordable and effective high-speed internet in the tri-county area.
