Internet customers are getting an upgrade in the city of Holmes Beach.
Texas-based Frontier Communications notified the city on July 30 of its plans to expand access to fiber optic service throughout the municipality as part of its commitment to upgrade broadband infrastructure in communities impacted in 2024 by hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Building department administrator Kimberly Charron shared the notice via email the same day to city administration and staff.
Charron noted that Frontier would begin construction the week beginning Aug. 4 and was expected to take 4-6 weeks to complete the work.
She said Frontier would put out signs and door hangers with a website link, phone number and QR code for people who have questions.
Over the course of construction, Frontier advised that crews will work in public rights of way during business hours and temporary markings will be made to locate existing utilities.
“Frontier is committed to keeping residents informed as construction progresses and will work closely with the city of Holmes Beach to minimize disruptions,” the company’s notice stated.
The city shared the notice Aug. 1 on its Facebook page.
