After going back and forth with different internet providers for over 10 years, the Springville City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to allow Google Fiber to dig into the city streets to run fiber throughout the community, ultimately bringing a new service option to individual homes and businesses.

The process to attract Google Fiber dates back to 2013 when officials in nearby Provo promised to bring the service to the community before the end of the year and held true to their word. At the time, citizens in Springville expressed hopes that Provo’s neighbor to the south would be the next step for the company.
