Goals:

  • Ensure the reliability and growth of the region’s broadband service — faster service, expanded coverage, lower cost.

  • Support Virginia Beach’s development of the undersea fiber-optic cables. 
  • Support Phase II and III of the fiber ring to the peninsula and the western area of the region.

Accountability:
