Google Fiber Right-of-Way Agreement
Council is considering a non-exclusive use of right-of-way (ROW) agreement with Google Fiber during the Council Meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 28 at 6:30 p.m. Several surrounding communities have also approved similar agreements with Google.
The intent is for Google Fiber to build a high-speed fiber network in Golden to increase service, competition, and connection speeds in Golden. Previously, the City considered the prospect of building and operating a fiber network, but an estimate of over $40 million dollars to do so made that option less viable.
The City has been negotiating this right-of-way agreement for months and believes this version is the best version available from Google at this point in time.
