of Parcels Reached: 248 (out of 2,711) = 8.7% of total parcels reached • # of MIP Installs: 41 (out of 400) = 10.3% of total installations • MIP Miles Completed: 23.1 (out of 186.2) = 12.4% of total miles • # of Unserved Reached: 4 (out of 470) • # of Underserved Reached: 0 (out of 74) Goals for 2025 – Dave Makar • As of 8/1/25, we have 451 customers live on the platform • Current Estimates: o 65 more each month of 2025 (July-December) o 822 total by 12/31/25 (-195 from initial goal) • Demand is strong with 1,356 sign-ups on the online form (828 are not yet in green zone) Design and Construction Methodology Modification – Summer 2025 – Dave Makar In the first three years of the project, we reached 30% of the locations in the Town of Dryden • At this pace, under the initial design and construction methodology, the project was on track to take 10 years to complete • With the hiring of Vantage Point Solutions (VPS), we are completely changing the methodology for design and construction The old method was implemented in very small pieces with multiple vendor partners • This resulted in vendor partners not seeing the big picture, and not being provided room to maneuver during delays (this could halt production for weeks while waiting for an answer) The new method involves fewer overall projects (larger in size) and a single vender partner to implement each project region (construction and splicing) with sub-contractors as needed • We believe this will reduce construction time by 50% to 75%, allowing us to reach 100% of the goal for MIP by 12/31/26 and 100% of the Town of Dryden by 12/31/27 D Makar shared slides that showed the differences in steps from the old process to the new process, and explained how the vendors work through these processes The team discussed the five regions of Dryden for broadband expansion, with D Makar explaining that the first four regions are MIP-funded areas while the fifth region, which has Spectrum, will be addressed last • B Penney reported that the first region’s contract documentation is nearly complete, with legal review expected by Monday or Tuesday of next week • B Penney also confirmed that the design work is at 95% readiness K Kelley-Mackenzie inquired about the status of Brooktondale Road’s fiber connection, which D Makar clarified is deprioritized due to existing Spectrum coverage, but may be addressed if it helps reach Caroline’s funded areas Team Reports Customer Base – Amanda Anderson We had 19 residential installs in the month of July 1 customer shut-off due to customer moving, but new owner signed up and took over We had 1 new commercial install in the month of July (Neptune Hose Co. No. 1 of Dryden) Installations – Tracy Monell Number of installations completed this month: 20 Number of installations scheduled (as August 1st): 3 The construction pause has led to a slower installation pace recently Installation blockers: • MDU work requires substantial information and engineering planning o D Makar mentioned that over 250 MDU units are being engineered for network construction in mobile home parks and apartment buildings, with a goal of unlocking one MDU per month for the next six months Marketing – Dave Makar Total Under Contract = 452 (+20 in July) Total Requests (since 1/1/23) = 1,395 (+50) Serviceable Live = 84.4% (the number of people who have requested service that are in the green zone) Over 800 people have requested service that we cannot service yet = A lot of demand! Website visits were up, likely due to a single day of artificial boosting D Makar presented to NYS MIP recipients on July 28, 2025 Working on hiring a part-time marketer for door-to-door Working with Kyle Jensen on email marketing, website, and social media Added more signs this month Social media posts D Makar did a WHCU Radio Interview on July 10, 2025 D Lamb and D Makar met with a Cornell graduate student and a VT based researcher on rural broadband D Makar and D Lamb discussed the economic impact of broadband implementation in Dryden, noting that research suggests a 3-5% increase in property values and potential job creation from retained local spending (money saved on broadband can be used on local services and businesses in Dryden) • Economic job creator – people can work from home • The project aims to complete implementation by 2027, with potential economic indicators to be compared against control towns by 2030, while currently relying on anecdotal evidence of customer demand and cost savings Engineering Updates – Brad Penney Pole Applications Update • All pole applications are now submitted o We expect a big “wave” of applications and bids from electric make-ready back today Caroline Huts • Site prep target for shelter site in September with an October delivery date Ongoing “Clean Up” Projects are continuing, while keeping in mind that all MIP work is required to be completed by December 2026 Financial Reporting (as of July 31) – Amanda Anderson There was a $31,000 rebate from Graybar this month, which was a revenue source Construction costs were higher this month due to subcontractor bills from work done in prior months The Grants Receivable (MIP) is $1.4 million, with work done being tracked through the end of August to be submitted back to NYS Our operating expenses fluctuate, depending on semi-annual expenses and additional expenses apart from the regular monthly expenses HR, Admin, and Insurance – Amanda Anderson A Anderson reported progress on insurance for Dryden Fiber, with quotes received and a meeting planned next week to review coverage with an agent Discussion Items – Dave Makar The bid for Hanford Drive was awarded to Clarity Connect, and as work started, they ran into some challenges when opening splicing cases, leading to a solution that requires 4 customers to be taken offline for up to two hours to splice in the connection (this should be done today) G Dobson inquired about the plan to update the map coloring on drydenfiber.com, as it has been stagnant, to which B Penney estimated it would be within a month The meeting adjourned at 11:51pm.

At this pace, under the initial design and construction methodology , the project was on track to take 10 years to complete. With the hiring of Vantage Point Solutions (VPS) and with the patience of the team, the town, and the residents, we are completely changing the methodology for design and construction . The old method was implemented in very small pieces with multiple vendor partners. This created a lot of additional back and forth; and resulted in vendor partners not having or seeing the big picture; and not be provided room to maneuver during delays. A single construction question could halt all production for week while waiting for an answer. The new method: fewer overall projects (larger in size) and a single vendor partner to implement each project region (construction and splicing) with sub -contractors as needed. We believe this will reduce construction time by 50% to 75%, allowing us to reach 100% of the goal for MIP grant fund by 12/31/2026 and 100% of the town of Dryden by or before 12/31/2027. We begin implementation in this new model this month (August 2025).  Design and Construction Methodology Modification – Summer 2025 Component 1: Project Locations (in green / green roads)  Design and Construction Methodology Modification – Summer 2025 Component 2: Design Book (Engineering Drawings) for Section  Design and Construction Methodology Modification – Summer 2025 Component 3: Design Area Diagram showing individual construction units  Design and Construction Methodology Modification – Summer 2025 Component 4: Individual Segment  Design and Construction Methodology Modification – Summer 2025 Component 5: As Built Documentation (hand drawn of what was actually built)  Design and Construction Methodology Modification – Summer 2025 Old Process: 1.Small Design Book to Construction Partner 2.Construction Partner builds 3.Construction Partner documents changes from the field (As Built) 4.Construction Partner sends "As Built" files back to Engineering Firm 5.Engineering Firm updates as needed 6.Engineering Firm sends files to Splicing Firm 7.Splicing Firm splices 8.Splicing Firm sends "As Built" files back to Engineering Firm 9.Engineering Firm updates files as needed (final accurate digital representation of what has been constructed and spliced) 10.Engineering Firm shares information with installation partners 11.Engineering Firm begins preparation of the next design book.
