Dyersburg residents can expect enhanced internet services as the city council confirmed the installation of fiber optic infrastructure by Right Fiber and Ritter Communications during the recent board meeting on May 19, 2025. This initiative follows a right-of-way maintenance ordinance passed by the board years ago, which mandates that utility companies present their plans to the city and ensures they are held accountable for any damages incurred during installation.

The fiber optic project is set to improve connectivity across Dyersburg, with additional companies anticipated to follow suit in the near future. This development is part of a broader effort to modernize the city’s infrastructure and provide residents with faster and more reliable internet access.

In addition to the fiber optic discussions, the meeting also highlighted a commendation for a local police officer. A resident shared a personal experience where the officer's quick response was instrumental during a recent emergency situation at their home. This acknowledgment underscores the ongoing commitment of the Dyersburg Police Department to community safety and responsiveness.

As Dyersburg moves forward with these initiatives, residents can look forward to improved services and continued support from local law enforcement, reinforcing the city’s dedication to enhancing the quality of life for its citizens.
