NEW BROADBAND INFORMATION – You can sign up, no obligation for future broadband options!!!
High speed fiber to the premise will be coming soon to many residents in Sugar Hill. The service is a result of federal grant monies available through the NH Business and Economic Affairs. Sugar Hill is lucky that the NH Electric Coop and Consolidated Communications (CCI) are both building fiber to the premise or home.
If you are an NHEC member, service may already be available. You may opt to sign up or inquire about service to your address at:
NH Broadband | Fiber Internet Powered by NH Electric Co-op | NH Broadband or go to nhbroadband.com
If you are a CCI or Spectrum Cable customer and not an NHEC member, you can pre-register for Fidium Fiber. Fiber engineering and construction will begin in December 2024 and is slated for completion in March 2025.
Pre-registering can help to move up the construction schedule so if you have not pre-registered for the service, you can do so at the link below:
Fiber Cities (fidiumfiber.com) or go to www.fidiumfiber.com/fiber-internet-sugar-hill-nh
Then scroll down to check availability and put your contact information in. You will be asked to choose a product but it is non-binding. If your address is not recognized type, it back in slowly and try again. If it still is not recognized then contact the Sugar Hill Town Office or send email to selectmen@sugarhillnh.org where a list of missing addresses will be logged and sent to Fidium Fiber for confirmation on availability.
EVERSOURCE POLE REPLACEMENT INFORMATION
As part of our ongoing investments to deliver reliable energy to our customers and communities, Eversource will be replacing existing wooden pole structures in Campton, Thornton, Woodstock, Lincoln, Easton, Sugar Hill, Bethlehem, Dalton, and Whitefield, N.H. This work will be taking place within the existing right-of-way (power line corridor) of the X178 Line, a 115kV transmission line.
This transmission line is 49 miles long and is located between the Beebe River Substation in Campton and the Whitefield Substation in Whitefield, N.H. In total, 470 wooden H-frame structures will be replaced, and new conductor (power line) and fiber optic cable, known as Optical Ground Wire (OPGW), will be installed the length of the line. The project also includes replacing poles along the Streeter Pond Tap, a 225-foot-long power line that connects the U199 transmission line to the X178 line in Sugar Hill.

PUBLIC NOTICE – Indian Brook Replacement – December 27, 2022
The Federal Emergency Management Agency hereby provides final notice of its decision to provide Public Assistance Program funding for actions located in a floodplain and wetland. Funding would be provided through New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management to the Town of Sugar Hill to reconstruct a bridge over Indian Brook on Streeter Pond Road. The proposed action is located at GPS coordinates (44.244278, -71.766457) and within a mapped special flood hazard area (100-year floodplain) and wetland. The proposed bridge would have a wider opening designed to accommodate the 100-year flood and would be in a slightly different alignment than the existing bridge to better convey Indian Brook flow.
The bridge is functionally dependent on its location over the brook thus the proposed action must take place in the floodplain and wetland. The project is not expected to result in loss of flood storage or exacerbate flood hazards to others. The action would conform with applicable state wetland regulations and local floodplain protection standards. Any potential project impacts would be mitigated by compliance with permit conditions issued by state and federal agencies, and any conditions required by the local floodplain administrator.
Alternatives considered included no action and replacing the bridge in-kind. Replacing the bridge in-kind was rejected because the Town determined the proposed design is superior and in conformance with New Hampshire stream crossing guidelines.
Maps of the project areas are available upon request to linda.hutchins@fema.dhs.gov or (202) 718-3367. Comments about the project and its floodplain and wetland impacts can be submitted within 15 days of the date of this publication to:
Linda Hutchins, Environmental Protection Specialist
Federal Emergency Management Agency, Boston, MA
