CVFiber is pleased to announce that it has engaged Jerry Diamantides, resident of Berlin, as a consultant to provide project management services for the development of the CVFiber Community Network.
Mr. Diamantides has 25 years of national consulting experience with David Miller & Associates, Inc in construction planning, project evaluation, and project management. He holds a Doctorate in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics from the University of Rhode Island.
He is very familiar with CVFiber and its ambitious project, having served on the CVFiber Governing Board as a Delegate from Berlin, until resigning months ago to become the Treasurer.
As Project Manager, Diamantides will leverage his considerable experience and knowledge for the benefit of CVFiber and the residents of its twenty member communities. As CVFiber transitions from planning to design and construction, Diamantides’ organizational skills will be vital. One of his first responsibilities will be to oversee a comprehensive inventory of utility poles which will begin in July. An accurate inventory is necessary for the design and engineering of the community network.
“I’m very excited to be bringing Jerry onboard as CVFiber is starting to build fiber broadband for Central Vermont's underserved residents,” said Jeremy Hansen, chair of the CVFiber governing board. “His project management and financial skills in addition to an impressive attention to detail will help us both to deliver fast internet access to our future subscribers and be responsible stewards of public funding.”
“While I am disappointed I must resign as Treasurer, bringing reliable and affordable broadband service to CVFiber’s member communities takes advantage of my experience and is a highlight of my career. It’s a privilege to be a part of the team performing this invaluable work for our community,” he said.
