Apr. 18-Rick Boucher thanked Jonathan Large, Supervisor from the Dan River District of Patrick County, who recently went to Washington, DC and spoke before the Committee on Telecommunications and The Internet.
He told about Jonathan Large, Supervisor from Dan River District of Patrick County coming before the subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet (which Mr. Boucher is Chair) in April and speaking about the need for High Speed Internet services in the Claudville area of Patrick County where residents are "underserved" or "unserved". The Federal stimulus package has authorized expenditure of $7 billion for expanding High Speed Internet services in rural communities in America.
Hopefully, Patrick County will get it's fair share of this funding for High Speed Internet.
