Blackford County: BSM Group Approved for Fiber Cable Work on 200 West
From the Blackford County Commissioner meeting on August 17, 2026
The Blackford County Commissioners approved a request from the BSM Group to work in county right-of-way to install fiber cable.
The work involves boring 2-inch ductwork along 200 West, from County Road 100 North (Marsh Road) south to the former St. Joe Paper facility. The highway superintendent noted the project likely involves replacing fiber optic cable that was accidentally severed years ago.
The approval passed on a voice vote.
