Lemmon Valley: a provisional High Speed NV (BEAD) project in Washoe County

The project is named Lemmon Valley, in Washoe County. Closest on this site: the Lemmon Valley page. This page reads the state's own record for Lemmon Valley and says plainly what it does and does not tell a household.

What does the state's record say about Lemmon Valley?

The file counts 445 locations in the Lemmon Valley project and names Rural Telephone Company, which is how OSIT's Final Proposal data words it: Rural Telephone Company is listed as the subgrantee for Lemmon Valley. The technology for every one of the 445 locations is fiber to the premises. The file anticipates up to 10000/10000 Mbps per location for Lemmon Valley. BEAD support is about 4.6 million dollars, and the subgrantee match is about 1.6 million dollars, which puts the filed total at about 6.2 million dollars.

The schedule in the file for Lemmon Valley is an estimate: a subaward on September 3, 2025, performance starting January 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2029, a span of about 3.9 years.

The file marks Lemmon Valley a priority broadband project.

How firm is the Lemmon Valley project?

The approval behind Lemmon Valley has two steps left. NTIA approved Nevada's revised Final Proposal and the state announced it on January 8, 2026, but the awards, the Lemmon Valley one among them, stay subject to NTIA curing and NIST final review and award. Until then OSIT lists each project as provisional.

The Governor's statement, which covers Lemmon Valley along with every other project, said deployment was expected to begin in mid-2026 and construction would occur over the next four years. Dates in the file, like the December 2029 estimate for Lemmon Valley, are planning numbers and not a schedule a household can plan around.

What would fiber to the premises mean at the locations in Lemmon Valley?

Fiber to the premises means a glass line that runs all the way to the building, which is the technology the file assigns to all 445 locations in Lemmon Valley. The file estimates 2 miles of aerial fiber and 4 miles of buried fiber for Lemmon Valley, and 12 estimated jobs.

The anticipated speed of up to 10000/10000 Mbps per location in Lemmon Valley is the state's planning figure for the technology, not a measurement and not an offer to a household.
