Economic Development Council · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Indian River County Economic Development Council is reviewing plans to build a fiber optic cable infrastructure across the county. This project aims to expand digital connectivity throughout Indian River County. The initiative is currently under review by the Economic Development Council. If approved, the project would involve the installation of extensive fiber optic cabling, likely including site surveys, trenching, conduit installation, cable pulling, and connection points. This work could create opportunities for contractors specializing in underground utilities, low-voltage systems, and general construction. Suppliers of fiber optic cable, conduit, and related materials may also find opportunities. Engaging with the project early, before final plans and permits are issued, could provide a competitive advantage for local businesses.
