Shentel (glofiber) Construction Update

/in ,

In 2023, the Harris Township Board of Supervisors approved a franchise agreement with Shentel (glofiber) to permit the installation of cable utility infrastructure within the Township’s rights-of-way. Since 2024, Shentel has proceeded with installation activities after obtaining the required Township permits. Where overhead lines exist, Shentel is utilizing existing utility poles to install its lines; where overhead lines do not exist, the company installs underground infrastructure within street rights-of-way or existing easements, along with associated above-ground accessory structures.

Harris Township started issuing permits to Shentel in November 2024 for the areas that require groundwork. As part of the permitting process, Shentel must permanently restore the areas within Township street rights-of-way that they in any way disturb and they must warrant such work for two years following Township inspection and approval of the restoration. Permanent restoration cannot take place until after winter when grass can grow. Township staff will walk each disturbed area with Shentel representatives when work in those areas is complete and restoration appears to be compliant with Township standards. Staff will also periodically check those areas for the following two years in case any warranty work is required.

Work crews will be in various sections of the Township and will be providing notification prior to any work in your neighborhood. Work is weather dependent; therefore, no set schedule is available.

If residents should have any questions about the project, they can contact glofiber by calling 1-866-997-6474 or they can visit their website at www.glofiber.com/construction.
