Hudson Velocity Residential Expansion

Directional Drilling Update from the City of Hudson:

Following the tragic gas explosion in Twinsburg on June 25, the City of Hudson immediately halted all directional drilling operations in city limits pending the results of the incident's investigation.

City staff have since been working with industry professionals and reviewing policies and procedures to strengthen safety requirements for future directional drilling projects.

An update on the proposed policy and procedures will be presented during the City Council Workshop on Tuesday, August 11. If City Council approves the new policy at its August 18 meeting, directional drilling operations could resume in late August.

Until a policy is approved, all directional drilling work in Hudson remains paused.

The safety of our residents, businesses, contractors and employees continues to be the City's highest priority, and we appreciate the community's patience as we work to ensure these enhanced safeguards are in place before any drilling resumes.

We're expanding our lightning-fast fiber network to residents!

The Fiber to the Residents project is a four-year expansion of Hudson Velocity services to connect all Hudson homes currently without access to fiber internet.
There is NO CHARGE for Velocity Broadband construction to the typical Hudson home!
The expansion will add over 150 miles of new fiber and reach 6,500+ residences.

This initiative was launched following recommendations from a City Council-led ad hoc committee as the best path forward to ensuring fiber access for all residents.
The project is entirely self-funded through the Velocity fund and does not rely on general fund resources.

Explore the construction phases.

Construction commenced with the pilot project beginning in fall 2025. Fiber services will be delivered to homes in the highlighted areas. Construction and installation timelines for each expansion area may differ depending on material availability, construction requirements, weather conditions, and customer sign‑up levels.
