Happy New Year! The team and I are planning for a banner year for Dryden Fiber in 2026. If 2025 was all about preparation, 2026 is all about action. By the end of the year, weather permitting and when everything goes to plan, we will have completed the mainline construction of Dryden Fiber to every parcel in the town of Dryden. This means, over 6,000 parcels; 7,200 households; and over 13,680 residents and businesses will have access to high speed fiberoptic internet.

On October 28 and 31, 2025, we posted on our Facebook page updates about the groundbreaking in Caroline and construction in Dryden. A few questions came up; some questions were combined and answered online. All of the answers are posted here. Thank you all for your comments on the timing of construction, Caroline’s expansion, and the construction schedule.

 On behalf of the Dryden Fiber project and our expansion to the town of Caroline, we are excited to invite you to our groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, October 27, 2025 at 12:30pm at the Caroline Town Hall (2670 Slaterville Rd., Slaterville Springs, NY). 

We cordially invite you to join us as we break ground on the next phase of community-owned broadband in our region. This historic event marks a milestone in bringing reliable, affordable, high-speed internet access to more of our neighbors.
