Castleton Representative(s) to Otter Creek Communications Union District

The Town of Castleton is seeking one or more persons to serve on the Governing Board of Otter Creek Communications Union District (Otter Creek CUD).  Otter Creek CUD is excited to have come this far in planning for and obtaining funding to build high-speed affordable broadband to the many unserved residents and businesses in Castleton and surrounding towns!  The hard work of obtaining grants and negotiating contracts is behind us, and the construction starts this summer with completion dates by and before December 2024.

The Otter Creek CUD Governing Board is made up of all volunteers; representatives appointed by selectboards from each member town. A board member is expected to attend the board meetings and vote on operational necessities such as voting for a chair and a vice-chair. No prior knowledge of telecommunications, or Vermont’s Communications Union Districts is required, but the opportunity to learn about them is available to all board members. Monthly board meetings are held (virtual only) on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 5:00-6:00pm.

Please consider filling this important and rewarding position for the Town of Castleton.
