Choosing a Delivery Model

Communities succeed when the model fits the mission. We bring a neutral, practical view of common approaches:

Community-Owned

Local control and multi-use value; requires clear governance and O&M planning.

P3 / Open-Access

Shared investment and operations; contract structure and vendor performance matter.

Carrier-Managed

Fastest to start in some markets; evaluate long-term cost, service levels, and flexibility.
