Leawood approves agreement with Google Fiber

FiberA’ight, Leawood: You’re officially on the Google Fiber roadmap.

Here’s the announcement from Google Community Manager Rachel Hack on the Fiber Blog:

Leawood, Kansas Approves Fiber

Tonight, the Leawood, Kansas City Council voted to become the 14th Kansas City-area community to bring Google Fiber to their residents. We look forward to bringing service to Leawood, but there’s quite a bit of planning and construction work to do before we can actually start hooking up homes. As soon as we have more information about signups and installations in Leawood, we’ll post it here.
