A consultant team working on behalf of the Southern Vermont Communications Union District, a municipal entity launched nearly one year ago with the goal of eventually bringing high-speed internet to underserved parts of the region, is finalizing a feasibility study that suggests two âviable pathsâ forward for the fledgling organization.
The district should either coordinate with the adjacent Deerfield Valley CUD or explore a partnership with Consolidated Communications, according to the latest findings of the consultants, Alex Kelley of Rural Innovation Strategies, Inc., and Carole Monroe of ValleyNet. The consultants provided an overview of their findings to the districtâs governing board on Wednesday and indicated that the completed study would be circulated soon.
