Article Summary: Construction on the second phase of the village’s high-speed fiber internet network is scheduled to begin in late February or early March.
Public Works Key Points:

  • Expansion Area: The new phase will service residents and businesses located on the west side of Interstate 57.

  • Permits Secured: Pavlov Media has received the necessary permits to begin the infrastructure work.

  • Winter Maintenance: The Public Works Department has used approximately 350 tons of road salt this season.

The Monee Village Board on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, received an update on the expansion of high-speed internet infrastructure within the village.

Trustee Doug Horne, reporting for Public Works, announced that Pavlov Media has applied for and received permits to commence construction on Phase 2 of the village-wide fiber network. This phase is designed to provide high-speed internet service to residents and businesses located on the west side of Interstate 57.

“Construction is expected to begin late February or early March,” Horne said.

Horne also provided an update on winter road maintenance. The Department of Public Works recently took delivery of 400 tons of road salt to replenish supplies. Horne noted that the current winter season has been colder and snowier than recent years, resulting in the usage of approximately 350 tons of salt to date.

The village has 320 tons remaining on its seasonal allocation and anticipates having a reserve to store for next winter.
