FIBER INTERNET IS COMING!
Are you ready for lightning-fast Internet speeds?
RiverStreet Networks, Pittsylvania County, and Pittsylvania County Schools have partnered together to extend fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) Internet access to the unserved and underserved areas of Pittsylvania County. Using capital funds as well as grant funds from Pittsylvania County, Pittsylvania County Schools, the Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI), and the FCC CAF II program, RiverStreet Networks plans to pass more than 14,000 unserved locations over the next several years.
The total project involves an $85.7 million fiber-to-the-home network. As part of this project, Pittsylvania County and Pittsylvania County Schools have committed a combined $16.5 million and RiverStreet Networks provided a $23.4 million match. The FCC has awarded $6.3 million as part of this project. The remaining $39.5 million was awarded in December 2021 through a grant from the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI).
