Nicasio Broadband Network

In a public-private partnership between the Nicasio Landowners Association and Inyo Networks, high-speed fiber broadband now passes homes and businesses in the sparsely populated western Marin County.  The initial project serves approximately 220 residences in Nicasio , and includes provisions to further close the digital divide by providing discounted service to low-income residents.

The Nicasio effort succeeded with the support and assistance of:

• Supervisor Dennis Rodoni
• The County's Information Services and Technology (IST) department
• The County's Department of Public Works
• The County Administrator's Office

Inyo was awarded a $2.5M grant from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) with the remaining funds coming from Nicasio residents and other sources.
