Wythe County reports broadband progress; 485 locations remain unserved under current grant
Summary
Deputy County Administrator Matt Hankins reported completion of broadband construction on many roads but said 485 locations are not served under the current grant; additional funding was secured to reach some locations, but no schedule was available.
Deputy County Administrator Matt Hankins gave the Commission an update on broadband work in the county, listing a series of roads and neighborhoods where construction was complete and noting where crews are still working. He said that under the current grant there are "485 locations that they will not be able to serve," though the county has obtained additional funding to cover some of those addresses and a timeline for that work was not yet available.
Commissioner Christopher C. King asked whether the county cannery was operating without issues; Hankins said he had not heard of any problems. Hankins’s update named dozens of roads where work had been completed and several routes currently in progress; the list is intended to help residents track local coverage progress and remaining gaps.
