Ammon begins fiber installation

The city of Ammon’s Public Works and Fiber Optic departments are beginning to install fiber service to more than 200 homes that have so far requested it.

It is estimated the new service will cost approximately $3,000 per property. The city has created an “opt-in” Local Improvement District to pay for the installation of that service.

Final project design and cost estimates were approved by the Ammon City Council last week.

The “Fiber to the Home” project was named recipient of the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors 2016 Community Broadband Award August 1st.
