Bernalillo County, NM (KKOB) — The Board of County Commissioners this week approved the allocation of $500,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to complete the expansion and installation of approximately 8.4 miles of single mode fiber optic cable on the west side.
The new cable will be installed along Central Ave. from Atrisco Vista Blvd. to Bridge Blvd.; Coors Ave. to Tower Road; Atrisco Vista Blvd. from Central Ave. to Ladera Drive; and Ladera Drive from Atrisco Vista Blvd. to Tempur-Pedic Parkway/Comfort Way.
“This new fiber optic cable will benefit west side residents and business and allow for future connections of nearby county facilities and traffic signals,” says Brian Lopez, BernCo Technical Services Director.
The use of ARPA funding for the project was approved on a 5 to 0 vote.
