Some 8,000 homes and businesses in Ruidoso will soon, for the first time, be equipped with high-speed fiber, a result of a public-private partnership between the Village of Ruidoso and internet provider Kinetic. The village committed up to $2 million of American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 stimulus funds it received to the project. Kinetic will pay $4.8 million and pledged to complete the project by the end of the first quarter of 2024.

The Village of Ruidoso is coordinating a broadband expansion project. We are asking all residents to help with the planning process by participating in a brief survey. Please take the survey from your Ruidoso home or business. A short internet speed test will be done and your local address will be entered, no other personal information will be gathered. Thank you for your cooperation in improving the future of Ruidoso. The survey deadline is Monday, March 28, 2022.
