Patrick County supervisors are openly considering alternatives to the county’s long-running broadband expansion plan after learning that parts of the Meadows of Dan area remain at the end of the current construction schedule.
Several members of the Patrick County Board of Supervisors said they support exploring whether another provider could take on portions of the project if grant funding can be reassigned, while others said they want additional information before any decisions are made.
The discussion followed the board’s May 26 broadband work session, where representatives from Appalachian Power, RiverStreet Networks, Citizens, and Spectrum provided updates on ongoing projects across the county.
