Inquiries
The Avista Joint Use Team has a long history of successful partnerships across our service territory. From huge fiber-to-the-home projects to deploying one of the first 5G small-cell antenna networks in the country, our team has the experience and resources to efficiently permit broadband construction projects.
Avista is experiencing an unprecedented boom in pole attachment activity and inquiries from municipalities, tribes, telecommunication companies, and more. Our team is working closely with government agencies to ensure we are prepared to handle the influx of pole attachment applications we are seeing as a result of state and federal grant funding.
We have the expertise to help ensure successful permitting of your project, but it’s critical you reach out early in the planning process.
If you are planning a broadband project that will require attachments to Avista poles, please reach out to schedule a preliminary planning meeting. We can provide information early in your planning that will make the permitting process more efficient and can help inform you of potential make-ready challenges.
For inquiries regarding new pole license agreements, please email us at JointUse@avistacorp.com
Below is a brief list of information you should be ready to provide our team when we meet.
