<br /> Project Description/Justification: Funding in FY2017-18 included
<br /> $1,160,000 in fiber connectivity within the Town of Hillsborough. Funding
<br /> of$1,160,000 is requested in FY 2020-21 to extend County owned fiber to
<br /> facilities in the Southern part of the County.
<br /> During FY 2016-17, Information Technologies undertook a fiber inventory
<br /> and assessment project by hiring a fiber needs assessment consultant to
<br /> estimate how much it would cost to run fiber to county facilities that rely on
<br /> Time Warner network connections. These connections are billed monthly
<br /> at approximately$17,000 per month. After connecting county facilities,
<br /> excess fiber could be offered to other government agencies, schools and businesses as a means of improving
<br /> internet service andmaintenance cost sharing. This fiber request may be offset with potential construction cost
<br /> sharing agreements with other partners.
