Meade County RECC Selects McLean Engineering for Pole Attachment Services

Meade County RECC, based in Brandenburg, Ky., recently selected McLean Engineering Company to provide pole attachment permitting support in response to the demand for fiber/high-speed internet in rural areas of its service territory.

As communication companies submit permit requests to Meade County RECC for the purpose of attaching equipment to the utility-owned poles, McLean will manage permits from beginning to completion, including costing, make-ready, and inspection, to ensure the Cooperative meets required timelines and recovers costs.
