FOREST GREEN, MO – August 25, 2022 – Chariton Valley (CV) announced today the completion of its Copper Replacement Project in Forest Green, as part of the company’s commitment of expanding its state-of-the-art fiber network to all members and just two months after completing the same project in De Witt.
