Fiber Construction Project

Construction of the city-wide network is ongoing. We expect the whole project to take a few years to complete. The project plan is designed to roll out in phases as the network is built, neighborhood by neighborhood – or Fiberhood by Fiberhood.

Crews are constructing the passings network throughout the City of Holland. The passings network consists of the fiber lines that go past every home, making fiber connectivity available to everyone in the City of Holland. Some of the fiber will be underground and some will be overhead.

Just as a water main goes past every home to provide access to water, a fiber optic passing goes past every home to provide access to data. As the passing network is built, neighborhood by neighborhood – fiberhood by fiberhood – service will roll out as it becomes available.

Fiber passing - goes past the home.

Fiber drop - goes to the home.
