Prince George Continues Broadband Initiatives   
PRINCE GEORGE - The county is continuing to make strides to bring wireless broadband to citizens.

Jeff Stoke, deputy county administrator for community and economic development, has presented options for providing broadband services throughout Prince George. Stoke said the county has been looking at different options since 2007. That same year, the county received a $25,000 technical assistance study grant from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. They received another in 2008 and have since used both for broadband initiatives.
