LOUISA COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - A new plan announced by Louisa County Monday afternoon will extend high-speed broadband internet to every home and business in the county over the next four years. County administrators say it’s a major step in bridging the digital divide in rural and underserved areas.
In a press conference at Louisa County High School, officials describe this as bringing the county from a low-connectivity region to a fully connected one with an impact on everyone living, learning, and working there. It’s a move Louisa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bob Babyok describes as seven years in the making: seven years trying to fix the problem of sparse internet connectivity county-wide.
