County highlights fiber award, library growth and two Business Appreciation events
Summary
Staff reported a VACO Technology Initiative Award for the county's Fiber to the Home project, said the library collection exceeds 5,000 books, and announced two Business Appreciation events set for Feb. 6 (Hub33) and Feb. 20 (library).
Erin Lazar, a county staff member, reported during the Dec. 12 meeting that King and Queen County will be recognized with a VACO Technology Initiative Award for its Fiber to the Home project. Lazar said she visited Beaver Dam Farm for the first business spotlight and that the county is working with Consociate Media on signage and audiovisual equipment for community venues.
Lazar also reported the library collection has grown to just over 5,000 books since opening a year ago and said the VA250 committee is organizing a regional lecture series and quilt. She added the Drive+ grant is progressing and a stakeholders meeting will be scheduled soon. Kelly Evko and Lazar said staff are planning two Business Appreciation events: Feb. 6 at Hub33 and Feb. 20 at the library.
Why it matters: the items reported reflect community outreach and infrastructure improvements that support local businesses and residents. The VACO award highlights technical progress on broadband, the library milestone signals expanded community resources, and the appreciation events are intended to bolster local business engagement.
What’s next: staff will finalize event logistics, continue signage and AV work with Consociate Media, and convene stakeholders for Drive+ grant planning.
