Fiber Network Construction Underway in Vinton

This Vinton family was excited to see construction crews start work on the Vinton fiber network in their neighborhood.

After years of advocacy and studies, residents of Vinton, Iowa are finally getting a community-owned fiber network.

Construction is now underway on the approximately $9 million fiber-to-the-home network in Vinton, a community of approximately 5,200 people south of Cedar Falls. Crews from Central Cable Contractors began work in the core network during the 3rd week of July, with plans to complete major construction by the end of the year.

The next major milestone for the Vinton project is rate setting, which the Vinton Communications Utility Board is expected to accomplish by mid-month.
