Since 2005, Finley Engineering has assisted Marshall Municipal Utilities (MMU) in the planning, budgeting and implementation of municipal utility owned fiber network.  Beginning with the review of their network in 2005 and assessment of future needs Finley has assisted MMU in the progressive build out of their network to the present to serve the current and future needs of their municipal utility and their public entity partners in the local area. MMU offers dark fiber connections to public entity partners (State, County, City Public School) along with serving a local anchor institution. Finley provides project management, contract administration and implementation of the MMU fiber optic network and expansion projects. The fiber network is owned by the Municipal Electric Utility and it serves their own electrical substations, water, sewer facilities as well as other public facilities.  There has been multiple projects implemented over the years and most all were on schedule and within budget.
