What happened: The board passed conditional approval for two utility plans for Comcast Cable Co.
Background: Comcast, which is began serving Ephrata-area businesses about a year ago, is now expanding its cable and internet services into residential neighborhoods in Ephrata Township. The first approval includes all the streets in the Eastbrooke development, while the second approval includes Summerlyn Greens, Misty Meadows, Meadow View, Overlook, Hilltop and Green Lawn developments.
Whatâs next: Township Manager Steve Sawyer said Ephrata Township asked Comcast to provide a schedule for final restoration of the streets and sidewalks completed with underground work. Township staff will review the proposed schedule prior to releasing the permits for Comcast.
