Proponent is proposing to replace existing copper telecommunications facilities (ROW-13215) with fiber optics. This will extend their telecommunications facilities in their South Malta Exchange. These improvements will offer state-of-the-art telecommunications toll and distribution facilities, as well as future growth capabilities for the community. The proposed route was determined by field review as the most direct route between terminus locations while also providing access to existing and future network considerations. The proposed route will provide accessibility for construction and maintenance since it is located primarily along existing roadways Proposed ROW is 20 feet wide.
