Broadband Project NGRID and VZ “Make-Ready” Construction and Tree Clearing
The Seneca Nation’s Council has authorized National Grid (NGRID) and Verizon (VZ) to complete “make-ready” construction and tree clearing throughout the Cattaraugus Territory. This construction is required to initiate the broadband, high-speed Internet project. Construction will begin in March / April 2021 and it will take a number of months to complete.
Broadband will bring high-speed Internet and digital voice services to all Cattaraugus residents. In order to accomplish this goal, we must contract with NGRID and VZ to complete the required construction. Seneca Nation’s broadband network construction will begin once these two entities have completed their respective work.
You will see NGRID and Verizon trucks on territory. We ask the community to be patient with the construction on territory since this is necessary to bring high-speed internet to the entire Cattaraugus community.
We will provide updates throughout the project.
