Riverside County updates residents on fiber Internet construction progress

Residents of Amelia County will soon have enhanced access to high-speed internet as the Board of Supervisors discussed significant developments in fiber optic infrastructure during their meeting on April 16, 2025. The initiative aims to improve connectivity for underserved areas, addressing a critical need for reliable internet access in the community.

The meeting highlighted the progress of the fiber optic project, which will allow residents to track construction updates through an interactive online map available at myriverstreet.net. This tool will enable users to see the status of fiber installation in real-time, with color-coded indicators showing whether areas are under construction or ready for service. The project is designed to enhance network resilience and connectivity across Amelia and Dinwiddie counties.

Officials emphasized the importance of this initiative, noting that many residents currently lack sufficient internet access. The Board encouraged community members to utilize the online resources and a toll-free number for assistance in navigating the new system.

In addition to the fiber project, the meeting included discussions on other community needs, although the fiber optic initiative was the primary focus. The Board's commitment to improving internet access reflects a broader effort to support local residents and businesses in an increasingly digital world.

As the project moves forward, residents can expect to see tangible improvements in their internet services, which will play a crucial role in enhancing educational and economic opportunities in Amelia County.
