Siloam Springs residents, this week is your last chance to learn about a proposed plan for the city to install fiber-optic lines connecting businesses and homes.

The city's third and final public meeting will be held this Thursday, May 3rd at the Community Building on Mount Olive. The fiber lines would create the framework of a system that would allow the city to create it's own broadband network.

Officials say the system would allow the city to offer another option for internet, TV, and home phones along with providing another source of income for the city. They say the cost of the project would be more than eight million dollars.

Residents will vote on the plan on May 22nd.
