On Tuesday, October 22nd the Williams County Commissioners approved a work permit for Frontier Communications.
The permit allows Frontier to work within county/township road right of way on 13719 County Road 11, Montpelier.
“I would just like to make comment on Frontier bringing fiber optic to every door. I think this is huge. You know, they are now running down County Road 11 which is exciting to me because I live on 11.50.”
“I am hoping that we see fiber optics to the rural communities and it has been a long time coming for our folks,” said Commissioner Rummel.
