High Speed Internet Fiber To Connect Courthouse with County Government Facilities

The Dubuque County Board of Supervisors on Monday unanimously approved a lease agreement with the City of Dubuque that will connect the courthouse with the county’s emergency operations center with high-speed internet fiber. The $100,000 project will complete a loop of high-speed internet connectivity between four principal county government facilities — the courthouse, the emergency operations center, the county’s west campus of offices and Sunnycrest Manor. A microwave link connects Sunnycrest to the west campus — all other connections will be via fiber optic cabling. The project has been in the works for eight years.
