Hudson Velocity Residential Expansion

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

The Fiber to the Residents project expands 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.

Directional Drilling Update

Following the explosion that occurred in a neighboring community, the City of Hudson established new Horizontal Directional Drilling and trenchless utility installation standards to enhance public safety and protect underground infrastructure.

State and Hudson Requirements

What preventions are in place to prevent utility strikes? Hudson has expanded upon the State of Ohio minimum requirements. Click here to learn more about the specific protocols required by the City of Hudson.
Will construction cause any utility service outages? The new drilling safety protocols are designed to ensure underground construction does not interfere with water, gas, and electric lines.

Work Area Updates Map

After the explosion in a nearby community this past June, the City of Hudson created new safety standards for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and other trenchless utility work to better protect residents and underground infrastructure. Putting these standards in place required us to pause the project and cancel and rebid several construction areas that had already been awarded.

As we move forward, we’re focusing on the areas scheduled for construction in the near term, so we don’t set unrealistic expectations for residents. Our goal is still to bring fiber service to all households that currently do not have access. We simply need to evaluate how the new requirements may affect the project’s overall timeline.
