Connectivity & Communications

Support the delivery of high-speed internet communications infrastructure to communities in Loudoun County and expansion of connectivity to customers. DAAR also supports the transparent management of grant funds received to enable connectivity. 

Although up to 70% of the world’s internet traffic flows through the data centers in eastern Loudoun County each day, many in the western part of the County struggle to get an internet connection.

The FCC’s National Broadband Plan, first created in 2010, states that no matter where you live or how much money you make, every American, every school, every library, every business, every health care institution and every public safety facility needs to have access to affordable broadband services. Technological communications ability has become the foundation of the American economy and the platform required for innovation and opportunity. It is a tool every child needs if they are to learn and compete in the global economy. This point was further emphasized during the shutdowns related to COVID-19.
