Campbell County Broadband Initiative

At the request of the Campbell County Board of Supervisors, County staff is conducting a countywide assessment to determine internet broadband availability.

Broadband is critical for communities to attract new development and businesses and for supporting the growth of existing business. It is quickly becoming considered a utility, the same as electricity and phone service.
