There’s some new progress in bringing broadband to the Northern Neck.

“The Northern Neck Planning District Commission and All Points Broadband have announced that they have received an additional eight and a half million dollars in federal broadband funds to support the second and final phase of a regional fiber-to-the-home broadband network to bring internet access to about 7,500 unserved locations in the Counties of King George, Northumberland, Richmond, and Westmoreland. The project will be conducted in partnership with Dominion Energy Virginia and the Northern Neck Electric Cooperative.  Together with the $10.3 million in state funding announced in January, the partners have now received almost $19 million in state and federal funding to help build a fiber-to-the-home network to serve presently unserved locations in the initial four counties.”
