Broadband Project NGRID and VZ “Make-Ready” Construction and Tree Clearing

The Seneca Nation’s Council has authorized National Grid (NGRID), Verizon (VZ) and Asplundh to complete “make-ready” construction and tree clearing throughout the Cattaraugus Territory in order to prepare the lines for the Seneca Nation’s fiber internet project.

This construction is required to initiate the broadband, high-speed Internet project. Construction will take place throughout the summer.

Broadband will bring high-speed Internet and digital voice access to all Cattaraugus residents!! In order to accomplish this goal, we must contract with NGRID, VZ and Asplundh to complete the required construction and tree clearing. Seneca Nation’s construction will begin once the “make-ready” construction has been completed.

You will see NGRID, Asplundh and Verizon trucks on the Cattaraugus Territory. We ask the community to be patient with the construction taking place on Territory as this is necessary to provide high-speed internet access to the entire Cattaraugus Territory.
