Internet Updates from City of Wildwood
Internet Access Project <+> City of Wildwood-Spectrum
NEW UPDATE #4 - October 14, 2022
As announced in late December 2021, the City has entered into an agreement with Spectrum Mid-America LLC to design, install and operate high-speed broadband internet service for the residents of Wildwood. Completing the number one priority of the City’s five-year Strategic Plan, this partnership with Spectrum will deliver fiber-based, high-speed internet service to the unserved and underserved areas of Wildwood who have been waiting for this service for many years. The City is investing $6.75 million in this project - that come from recent federal stimulus funds - and the project is expected to be completed within twenty-four months.

The FOURTH UPDATE on the high-speed internet access project has just been issued by the City Administrator, Steve Cross, and provides great information on the project's current status.

Dear Wildwood Resident,

The City of Wildwood is pleased to provide this fourth update to the Spectrum internet project. This update includes Maps 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 depicting the next areas where Spectrum has notified the City that construction will begin. This update also includes the map entitled Total Project Area which denotes the entire project area for Phase 1 of the buildout as well as where each of the 10 maps fall within the total project area. Please note that Spectrum has informed the City that there will be a total of 16 maps that comprise the Total Project Area. Please also note that these maps are an approximation of the buildout area and may not exactly depict the boundaries of where construction begins and ends. If you have a question as to whether your street address is included in the buildout area, please send an email to Steve Cross at the email address noted below. The address is the key determinant as to which phase of the buildout your home may be in. Please also note that this project, to bring high-speed internet to the City of Wildwood, will be accomplished in phases. Phase 1 encompasses approximately 2,025 homes in the area noted on the map as the Total Project Area. Construction on Phase 1 began in September 2022 and is anticipated to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2024. Phase 2 is comprised of approximately 225 homes, and construction on this phase is anticipated to begin shortly after the completion of phase 1. Additional addresses that are not in Phase 1 or Phase 2 are being accumulated and will be included in Phase 3.

Current estimates from Spectrum relative to the anticipated date for start of construction as well as anticipated date for internet service from Spectrum are as follows (Note: these dates may differ from those previously provided by Spectrum due to construction delays beyond their control):

Map #1
Start of Construction – Sept 2022 Service Availability – End of Nov 2022

As with any project of similar scope, this timeframe is subject to change due to unforeseen construction delays. The City will make every effort to update residents as to any changes in this schedule.

If you have not already done so, please go to the City’s website, www.cityofwildwood.com, and locate the box at the bottom of the first page of our website noted as Internet Access Project Updates. If you click on this box, you will be able to enter your name, street address and email address to receive a direct email of each update when it is distributed.  If you do not have access to the City’s website, please feel free to send your information via email to [email protected] and the City will make sure your name gets added to the list.  Updates will also be included in the weekly E-Newsletter (e-newsletter signup), as well as being posted on the City’s Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter social media sites, and we will include a link to the Internet Access Project Updates page on the website for you to sign up for the email updates.

Finally, these updates will also be available in print, and they will be posted on the wall in the second-floor vestibule of City Hall, as well as at the City’s Al Foster, Community, Bluff View, Anniversary and Green Pines Parks.

We are very excited that we are now able to move forward with the City’s most important strategic goal for our residents. This project will take up to 24 months to complete, but at the end of this time period, every resident in Wildwood should have access to reliable, high-speed internet for their homes and businesses.

If you have any questions relative to the high-speed internet project, please feel free to reach out to Steve Cross, City Administrator.

Thank you.
