How Greenlight Districts are Identified and Built
- Residents sign-up at GreenlightNetworks.com to show interest in their neighborhood.
- The Greenlight engineering team performs an initial study. This study includes looking at the cost and complexity of building the district, how many easements are required, what permits need to be obtained from the municipality and for which utility poles Greenlight needs to apply.
- Greenlight district is added to our construction schedule.
- Once the study is complete, the engineering process begins in select districts, utility poles are applied for and needs for easements are identified.
- Greenlight team works with residents in neighborhood to obtain easements as well as work with the utility pole owners to prepare space on the utility poles for our fiber.

The map shows the pre-order progress, construction status, and service availability of our Greenlight Districts. Here is what each status level represents:
Assessing Interest – Tracking interest in your neighborhood. Where we build and when is based on many factors including customer demand, cost, and complexity of building the district, and the number of easements and permits required.
Under Evaluation – We are currently evaluating the network design and engineering specifications, construction costs and conditions, as well as permits and easement requirements for your district.
Accepting Pre-Orders – We are accepting pre-orders in your district. We are currently evaluating the network design and engineering specifications, construction costs, and conditions, as well as permits and easement requirements for your district.

Construction in Progress – Our construction team is building our fiber-optic network in your neighborhood. This includes aerial construction (attaching fiber to the utility poles in your neighborhood) and underground construction (installing conduit and fiber-optic cable along an underground path in the town right of way using a surface launched drilling rig.)
