VABroadbandStudy.com The State of Virginia is committed to expanding rural access to broadband technology. The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development is providing community broadband planning assistance through The Virginia Rural Broadband Planning Initiative. The primary objective of the Virginia Rural Broadband Planning Initiative is to ensure community sustainability and competitiveness in the global marketplace via comprehensive planning for broadband deployment. Community sustainability requires the availability of adequate healthcare, quality education, reliable emergency services, competitive service-sector businesses (banks, insurance, etc.), and connectivity at speeds necessary for entrepreneurs to engage and compete globally. Part of the planning process includes assessing the needs of businesses and residents in these rural communities. Spotts, Stevens and McCoy and Icon Broadband Technologies are pleased to support the Broadband Planning Initiative. Residential and business surveys are currently in progress for the communities shown below. Please take a moment to provide input for your community by completing a confidential survey.
