In a recent meeting, the city council put forth a proposal to CenturyLink<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> officials regarding an \u201ceconomic development investment\u201d of $1 million towards the fiber optic project in Orange Beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe have been searching for about two years to find someone who would bring fiber to the residences, to the neighborhoods,\u201d said the Orange Beach Councilman, Jerry Johnson, in a recent statement. However, the city council expects CenturyLink<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> to sign up at least thousand residents to the fiber optic project in Orange Beach with $25 each.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the project to unfold successfully, Johnson says, additional 33 percent of residents should also sign up into the fiber optic project in Orange Beach. Johnson, a Bessemer native, got elected into the city council in 2012, and has been a resident of Orange Beach for the 12 past years. Johnson is also the chairman of the city\u2019s Telecommunications and Technology Committee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reports say that CenturyLink<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> has divided Orange Beach into seven zones and has around 6000 full-time residents to raise the funds. Johnson further clarified that the $25 each will go into \u201ca mutually agreed escrow account\u201d and not a CenturyLink<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> exclusive account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf for some reason after 12 months we have not reached those thresholds, the city hasn\u2019t put up anything, CenturyLink Johnson says hasn\u2019t put in anything and everybody who put up a deposit will get a full refund,\u201d the councilman reaffirmed to the residents.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2207\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2207\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2207\" class=\"wp-image-2207 size-medium\" title=\"Mutually Agreed Escrow Account\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-1-e1486618638204-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"Best Internet\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Economic Development Investment<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a bid to raise the funds and get feedbacks on the fiber optic project, CenturyLink<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> will hold at least four customer forums at the Orange Beach Community Center during September this year.
