Some Vermilion County Board members are raising concerns about property damage recently done in some areas as crews installed underground Broadband internet service. County Board chairman Steve Miller says his office has received several complaints about it…
AUDIO: We have multi-national corporations who are contracting with companies who have no affiliation with our county, who make no real effort to find out how to coordinate their efforts with the existing public utilities of various villages, and certainly with private owners. And they are simply going anywhere they want, and doing anything they want, with impunity.
Miller was asked whether there is anything the county can do to address the concerns…
AUDIO: I don’t think that we have a lot of leverage. We certainly can’t fix all the ills. And, I think there was a good comment made tonight; that with respect to the rights-of-way of our county roads, we should have some involvement. But these companies are just not taking their responsibilities seriously.
State Representative Brandun Schweizer discussed the concerns at a meeting in Tilton last week. The Westville-Belgium Sanitary District spearheaded last week’s meeting.
