Topics include recent fiber cuts throughout county, lack of middle mile redundancy

Dear Representatives/Senators,

On behalf of the McKinley County Commission, we would like to invite you to be part of the Townhall Meeting scheduled for Aug. 19 at 5:30 pm at Red Rock Park.

We would like to discuss the recent issues with the fiber lines being cut/down, the middle mile re-dundancy, how it affects public safety, how it effects our businesses and the overall harm it does to our community.

We will also ask the Chambers, including Gallup-McKinley County Chamber of Commerce CEO Bill Lee, to help us get the message out to the business owners and the public in general.

Our Lobbyist, Marco Gonzales, will reach out to the Governor's Office to see if we can get a rep from there, some from state IT, from Broadband, etc. Marco will also assist in reaching out to Cen-tury Link and see if we can get them to the meeting.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.

By McKinley County Manager Anthony Dimas


Sincerely,
Anthony Dimas
McKinley County Manager
