WESTMORELAND COUNTY BROADBAND PROJECT TO BEGIN THIS SPRING

Work to install new high-speed internet service to as many as 400 Westmoreland County residents unserved by broadband is set to begin this spring. County officials announced Wednesday that after months of delays, crews will soon be starting work on the $1.7 million project designed to connect homes in Derry, Fairfield and Ligonier townships to the internet. Westmoreland County Planning Director Jason Rigone said work is expected to begin in about 30 days.
