Now that the town of Dryden has been awarded a $9 million grant by the state of New York, town residents — and those of the town of Caroline — may want some answers on when they can get high-speed internet service.
Dryden, NY (June 24, 2024) Internet service in Dryden and Caroline will soon be vastly expanded, thanks to a successful grant submitted by Dryden Fiber, a broadband provider operated by the Town of Dryden. Federal, state, and local officials gathered at Dryden Town Hall today to celebrate the news. The competitive grant was awarded by the New York State ConnectALL Office’s Municipal Infrastructure Program, after an extensive review process. Dryden Fiber is the only municipally owned and operated internet service provider in New York State.
Dryden Fiber recognizes there are property owners in the Town of Dryden who have tenants who may want Dryden Fiber. In order for the Dryden Fiber installation team to build a connection from the fiberoptic network to homes and buildings of rental properties, we are asking landlords to sign a release. This release grants the Town of Dryden and Dryden Fiber permission to connect to the building or buildings on site via telephone poles or conduit (underground, buried).
On February 7th, 2024, WSKG aired (during Morning Edition) and posted a story about rural communities and getting residents online. The story features Dryden Fiber with comments by Town Supervisor Jason Leifer, Deputy Town Supervisor Dan Lamb, and chair of the Tompkins County Legislature Dan Klein. There's also an interview with Town of Caroline Town Supervisor Mark Witmer.
Our goal is for you to love this service. Here are a few tips to get your started:

Living “off the grid” is great — if you’re so inclined. No ringing of a telephone to disturb your peace, no social media to distract you. Maybe that will be our retirement plan; quiet country living certainly sounds like a welcome break from the noise and tumult of a busy world.
