Logan County commissioners weigh broadband, utility deal and fair booking
Commissioners could clear a fiber right-of-way, a utility easement and a major fair booking when they meet Tuesday morning in Sterling.
Logan County commissioners will be asked to move three consequential items when they meet at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Logan County Courthouse in Sterling: a fiber right-of-way, a utility easement and the fair’s Night Show talent booking. The agenda puts broadband infrastructure, power-line access and summer programming on the same table, with decisions that could shape how county roads are used, how utility work advances in Fairmont and how much fairgoers pay to see a national act.
The fiber request is Right of Way Permit Number SE2026-12 for Viaero Fiber Networks, LLC, which seeks underground conduit work at County Road 33 and County Road 31.5. The separate utility item is a non-exclusive easement request from Public Service Company of Colorado for utility lines in Block 2 of Fairmont Resubdivision, part of Fairmont Addition in Section 29, Township 8 North, Range 52 West of the 6th Principal Meridian. If commissioners approve both, the county would be giving two outside providers formal access to public land and right-of-way areas for lines that can affect future service availability, road work coordination and how nearby residents see utility expansion unfold.
The board is also scheduled to sign a proclamation naming June 30 as Outdoor Education Day in Logan County, a smaller item on paper but one that signals the county’s effort to publicly connect schools, families and outdoor learning. Commissioners will also take up a talent buyer agreement with Lakefront Entertainment, LLC, doing business as Fran Romeo Agency, for the Logan County Fair Night Show featuring Scotty McCreery and the Dugger Band. The fair’s 2026 dates run from July 23 through August 2, and the Night Show is listed for Saturday, August 1 at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m.
Ticket pricing gives residents a clear look at the cost of one of the fair’s biggest draw events: $53 for adult, youth and general admission standing room, and $73 for the Party Zone. Sales were listed to begin March 27 at 5:30 p.m. The fair-bids page also said applications for fair services were due April 3 by 5 p.m. and noted limited applications in previous years, which is why the Logan County Fair Board has been taking applications for individual ticket taking and usher jobs as well as from organizations outside Logan County.
County offices will be closed Friday, July 3, for Independence Day, and the next regular commissioners meeting is set for Tuesday, July 7. For residents watching how county government balances infrastructure, public space and summer events, Tuesday’s agenda offers a direct look at what is likely to move next.
