City Of Greendale Partners With Cincinnati Bell To Bring Fiber Broadband To Residents

The Greendale (IN) city council approved a deal with Cincinnati Bell to bring fiber broadband to businesses and residents in the city. Mayor Alan Weiss says the fiber broadband will be a lot faster and more reliable than what Greendale businesses and residents are used to. Cincinnati Bell offers up to 1 GB which equals 1,000 MB per second. Currently, a lot of homes in Greendale have 25 MB per second or less. The minimum package offers 100 MB per second. Work to install fiber lines is expected to start in early 2022. It will take 18 months to two years to complete the installation. The City of Greendale is investing $645,000 into the $3.5 million project. With the help of Lawrenceburg Community School Corporation and Superintendent Karl Galey, Greendale was awarded a Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) grant from the state that will award the city up to $625,000.
