Broadband agreement will allow every home in New Kent County, Virginia, to get high-speed Internet
New Kent County (VA) voted to enter into a $16.1 million agreement with Cox Communications to provide a high-speed broadband connection to every home and business in the county. Approximately 3,053 homes in the county have limited to no broadband service and will be connected within 28 months of Cox receiving its permits, according to the County Administrator Rodney Hathaway. The County is leveraging $4.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding and other revenue to finance the project.
