RIDGEFIELD FIBER

One question many town residents ask is… why don't we have better Internet options-more specifically, higher-speed Internet at a lower cost? A group of town leaders led by First Selectman Rudy Marconi is exploring the feasibility of creating a town-owned fiber network, but we can only move forward if town residents are willing to participate... Reliable Internet is critical modern-day infrastructure-just like electricity and water. We depend on good connectivity to work from home, do schoolwork, to operate businesses, and to stay in touch with the world... This website will provide information and progress on the group's efforts to develop a full feasibility study and engineering plan that we can then submit to the federal government to build a town-owned fiber network. A completed study would potentially qualify Ridgefield for a piece of the $65 billion in federal funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
