Summary

In June and July 2018, a Beaver Island Forum thread relayed Great Lakes Energy information about a planned high-speed fiber project. The relayed notice identified Beaver Island as part of the Petoskey service district and anticipated construction beginning in July 2018, with completion in 2020 or sooner. A later post encouraged islanders interested in Truestream service to register.

Evidence limits

This records the public announcement and its projected timetable. The forum thread does not establish that construction began, that the entire island was served by 2020, or that the quoted project plan was ultimately completed.

The thread relays a Great Lakes Energy project notice saying Beaver Island was in the Petoskey service district, construction was expected to begin in July 2018, and completion was anticipated in 2020 or sooner. The service timetable is a project expectation, not proof of construction or availability.
