High-speed internet coming to downtown Massena

MASSENA -- A project to install high-speed internet through the downtown corridor for businesses and out to the St. Lawrence Centre should be finished sometime next month, Mayor Tim Currier said at Tuesday’s village board meeting.

“We’re nearly complete the business portion of this project,” he said.

The internet will be through Nicholville-based Slic Network Solutions.

Village officials and Slic are also looking at installing the service for residences.

Slic is eyeing two neighborhoods as possible test locations. Currier declined on Tuesday to say where, but said when the company is ready to release the information, he will.

He said they need an area with about 600 customers where most of the infrastructure is in already in place.

The project is being funded through the Northern Border Regional Commission Economic and Infrastructure Development Grant Program.

The board on Tuesday voted 4-0 to authorize Currier to reapply to the program.
