In June the city of Grapevine and Grapevine-Colleyville ISD signed an agreement to partner together to enhance Internet and local network connectivity for both entities by investing in a more than $5 million fiber-optic cable system. Construction on the 57-mile system will be done in phases over the next five years. The district and the city of Grapevine continue to make progress on the fiber-optic system, according to GCISD’s Senior Systems Engineer Ron Stockenberg. The city and district are spending January working together to map pathways and rights of way. Stockenberg said Colleyville is working on an agreement to allow the city of Grapevine to lay fiber within Colleyville city limits to GCISD’s Colleyville campuses.
