Fiber broadband is rapidly expanding across West Virginia, fueled by bold public-private partnerships and significant infrastructure investments. While meaningful progress has been made, many communities remain underserved or entirely unserved — underscoring the continued need for strategic broadband deployment.
On our next episode of Fiber for Breakfast, join us as Jim Martin, President and CEO of Citynet, talks with Gary Bolton, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, to share how bold partnerships and targeted investments are transforming rural connectivity in West Virginia. With a spotlight on the recent $24.87 million USDA ReConnect award in Nicholas County, Martin will highlight how Citynet, a trusted, West Virginia-based fiber broadband provider is collaborating with local leaders to bring high-speed internet to thousands of underserved residents, farms, businesses, and community institutions. Discover how this project, and others like it, are reshaping the economic future of Appalachia and setting the stage for success under upcoming programs like BEAD and ARC.
