The environmental review covers common installation methods such as buried fiber, aerial cables, and satellite service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nine last mile priority areas were identified, designed and included in the environmental work. The nine, last-mile priority areas include: Guadalupe, Cuyama\/New Cuyama, Casmalia, Los Alamos, Los Olivos, Jonata Park, areas east of Santa Maria, Refugio Canyon, and the West Highway 246 corridor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These last-mile facilities were designed to connect to the State of California\u2019s \u201cmiddle-mile\u201d broadband network (Statewide Middle Mile Network) currently being implemented by the California Department of Technology (CDT), which will ultimately be 190 miles of middle-mile broadband infrastructure along the coastal rail corridor near Vandenberg Space Force Base, Lompoc, and the Gaviota Coast, with additional buildout planned along Highway 166 through Cuyama and the communities of Santa Maria, Orcutt, and toward Santa Ynez. The Middle Mile Network is expected to be completed in the region by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>RESOURCES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-accordions advgb-accordions-570bbdf6-074f-4008-ad3c-d3f4f679a940 advgb-accordion-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-accordion-item advgb-accordion-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:15px\"><div class=\"advgb-accordion-header\" style=\"background-color:#000;color:#eee;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-radius:2px\"><span class=\"advgb-accordion-header-icon\"><svg fill=\"#fff\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0,0h24v24H0V0z\"><\/path><path d=\"M12,5.83L15.17,9l1.41-1.41L12,3L7.41,7.59L8.83,9L12,5.83z M12,18.17L8.83,15l-1.41,1.41L12,21l4.59-4.59L15.17,15 L12,18.17z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><h4 class=\"advgb-accordion-header-title\" style=\"color:inherit\">Final Program Environmental Impact Report<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"advgb-accordion-body\" style=\"border-style:solid !important;border-width:1px !important;border-color:undefined !important;border-top:none !important;border-radius:2px !important\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.sbcag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Broadband-Program-Final-EIR.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Broadband Program Final EIR.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-810b320c-b668-4d8a-b27c-8b70a3789dd3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sbcag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Broadband-Program-Final-EIR.pdf\">Broadband Program Final EIR<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbcag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Broadband-Program-Final-EIR.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-810b320c-b668-4d8a-b27c-8b70a3789dd3\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6454,"template":"","project_types":[34],"funding":[],"region":[],"initiative":[],"class_list":["post-5618","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_types-current-project"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
