An $18.9 million federal stimulus grant awarded to Mecklenburg-based Buggs Island Telephone Cooperative (BIT) promises to make high-speed broadband access available to every business and residence in 15 counties in south central Virginia including Halifax.
“I think this is probably the most significant project to come to Southside Virginia in my 35 year career here,” said Joyce French, executive director of the Southside Virginia Planning District Commission. “It will touch more businesses, more people, have more impact than any project I’ve been associated with.”
