Chesterfield County has been awarded a $755,523 grant through the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development’s Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI) to support the county’s partnership with All Points Broadband and Dominion Energy to develop broadband availability countywide.

The award will make it possible for Chesterfield and its partners to develop the infrastructure necessary to bring broadband service to currently unserved areas of the county.

“Chesterfield is excited about this great news and about the opportunity to work with our partners to implement this grant,” said Deputy County Administrator Clay Bowles. “It will provide these citizens with what is nowadays a critical piece of infrastructure.”

The grant will enable some 494 parcels, homes, and businesses across the county to eventually have access to service, according to the county.
