County says 99.9% of locations will have broadband by fiscal year end; remaining households to be served via state program

Albemarle County said it is nearing universal broadband access, with 99.9% of locations expected to be connected by the end of the current fiscal year. The county said the remaining 0.1% of households will be served through the state BEED program.

The announcement did not specify which fiscal year was meant, the total number of locations covered, the specific technologies used for the final connections, or the timeline for the state program’s interventions. The county presented the figures as its current projection.

The county did not provide a schedule for outreach to the remaining households or details about any remaining funding needs. The broadband update was presented as an informational status report rather than a formal decision or procurement action.
