RE: Letter of Support - Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) 2020 – Russell County IDA
Dear Dr. Holmes,
We are writing to express our support for the grant loan application of the Industrial Development Authority of Russell County, Virginia (IDA) is submitting to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) for the Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) 2020 Grant.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s essential to our community and economic development to partner with iGo Technology and the IDA to provide broadband projects to extend fiber optic Internet service to the Crossroads/Purcell section of Hansonville & East New Garden toward Finney area near Honaker located in Russell County, Virginia.
These projects would bring tremendous benefits to the residents located within these localities and provide gigabyte broadband capabilities with Fiber-To-The-Premises architecture. As you are aware, Southwest Virginia is in dire need of such infrastructure investments. iGo Technology has a long history of quality service and commitment to our region.
We respectfully request DHCD give full and thoughtful consideration to these grant applications to serve the citizens of Russell County. Access to quick and reliable Internet service is becoming an increasing necessity in our society. The DHCD plays a vital role in working to ensure Southwest Virginia can meet this demand for the benefit of our citizens and the local economy.
The Russell County Board of Supervisors strongly supports the iGo Technology and the IDA’s Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI) 2020 Grant application and looks forward to the benefits it will bring to our community.

RE: Letter of Support - Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) 2020 – CPPDC Regional Application
Dear Dr. Holmes,
I am writing to convey my support of the application submitted by the CPPDC for Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, and Tazewell Counties, in partnership with Point Broadband. The project, known as the CPC Broadband Expansion Project, will allow Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, and Tazewell Counties to install a state of the art fiber optic that will serve multiple communities of need. The project will serve schools, vocational training facilities, businesses, healthcare facilities, state agencies, and most importantly will offer gigabit service to over 14,000 addresses previously under served.
As I understand it, the goal of VATI is to create strong, competitive communities throughout the Commonwealth by preparing those communities to build, utilize, and capitalize on telecommunications infrastructure. This project is an innovative regional collaboration that will help the Commonwealth to achieve those goals.
The Russell County Board of Supervisors strongly supports the CPPDC’s Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI) 2020 Grant application and looks forward to the benefits it will bring to our community.
