Fiber Optic Infrastructure in Delaware County
Posted on May 27th, 2009 No commentsPlans are afoot to further develop a network of high-speed fiber optic cables in Delaware County. As the Delaware Gazette reported earlier in May, the Delaware County Commissioners are considering expansion of fiber infrastructure in the county to connect the Greif Park business development in Liberty Township to other fiber networks, in Delaware and/or in Worthington.
Add to this the DASH (Delaware Area SuperHighway) consortium the City of Delaware, OhioHealth, and Consolidated Electric formed in 2006. Since the creation of DASH, the group has put approximately 2 miles of fiber optic cable in the ground. This infrastructure is immensely valuable not only for business attraction and retention, but also for use by government services.
At a recent Delaware County Commissioners meeting, County Economic Development Director Gus Comstock said, “If we want to attract the best businesses to town, we need fiber, fiber, fiber. Fiber’s what’s going to draw the best businesses.” He’s absolutely right. Development of fiber infrastructure will make Delaware County attractive to new high-tech businesses.
