Honors Vermont's communications union districts for their efforts in providing fiber-optic service to rural communities.
The bill honors Vermont's communications union districts for their leadership and efforts in bringing world-class fiber-optic service to rural communities. These districts, established in 2015, have reduced the number of internet addresses with no or subpar broadband service from 100,000 to 20,000. The districts operate without financial liability for member communities or individuals, using municipal revenue bonds, grants, and public-private partnerships. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to each CUD, the Vermont Community Development Board, and Governor Philip B.
