Assistant County Administrator Dave Arnold talks about the recent announcement that Pittsylvania County, Pittsylvania County Schools, and RiverStreet Networks are partnering together to bring reliable internet to county residents. To start, this will feature a $75 million fiber-to-the-home network to reach 12,000 unserved locations. Dave talks about why so many county residents don't already have reliable internet access, the status of fiber-optic cable as the most reliable internet service, why Pittsylvania County is willing to invest so much in this project, the details of our partnership, and why RiverStreet Networks was selected.
