Construction Underway on Medina County Fiber Network
The construction of the Medina County Fiber Network began in May in the Medina-Akron corridor on Route 18 and in the Brunswick Industrial Park. Permits for underground construction in other segments of the network have been submitted to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and various municipalities. Concurrently, the Medina County Port Authority is working with utility companies to finalize pole attachment agreements. “Since the groundbreaking ceremony on March 11, I am very encouraged by the progress in the construction timeline,” said Bethany Dentler, Executive Director of the Medina County Economic Development Corporation.
