Council to consider nonexclusive Loomis Fiber franchise to expand resident broadband choices
City Administrator Jim Clifford introduced Ordinance 2025‑29 at the Nov. 10 study session, a proposed nonexclusive franchise agreement that would allow Loomis Fiber of South Carolina to provide fiber services to residents in North Augusta. Clifford described the measure as a pro‑competition step intended to increase options and enhance service variety for residents; he said the company will need to perform work in existing easements and comply with city standards for construction and right‑of‑way use.

No formal vote or final action occurred during the study session; the item was presented for council review in advance of consideration on the council agenda.

Provenance: ordinance introduction SEG 175–190.
