Special Town Meeting - Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022 - 9:30 AM - Vienna Community Center

A frequent complaint of Vienna residents has been the lack of access to an affordable, quality, high-speed internet connection. This was even before the COVID pandemic which only made the problem  worse. People were unable to work from home or their children unable attend online classrooms.

We heard you and after three years of study, now have a proposed solution. The timing couldn't be better, as the Federal government is stepping up to help out under-served communities like ours.

The Select Board has scheduled a special town meeting on Saturday, October 1, 2022 at 9:30 AM at the Vienna Community Center to vote on an article authorizing them to negotiate and finalize a proposal from Axiom Technologies of Machias, Maine. In this proposal, Axiom will oversee the construction of a fiber-to-the-home network that Vienna will own. Vienna will subsequently contract with Axiom to operate the network and return a share of the revenues to the town.

Make an informed decision

There will be:

  • Informational Meeting at the Community Center on Wednesday, August 31 at 6:30
  • Public hearing on the article at the Community Center, Monday, September 19 at 6:30.

Please attend, listen, learn and share your opinion.

This will be a major project taking over two years to complete. When complete Axiom will offer monthly subscription fees less than what most people are paying now and with minimum speeds up to 20 times faster. Gigabit speeds will be possible for a higher subscription rate.
