Summary
Monday’s commission agenda includes a vote on a 75-year ground lease that would let Peninsula Fiber Network advance an underwater internet connection between Chicago and Jean Klock Park.
The lease would allow the company to build a small equipment shed near Benton Harbor’s water treatment plant, a key onshore piece of the planned cable route.
City Manager Alex Little outlined the plan Wednesday to the city’s Public Safety & Public Works Committee, signaling the project is moving into a formal approval stage.
