FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va. With more and more families working and learning from home, Franklin County leaders signed a $4.6 million dollar deal on Tuesday to boost broadband service in the county. Phase 1 of the project will provide faster internet service to about 20,000 homes, which is more than half the county. The countys got to play a significant role in putting these puzzle pieces together for our citizens and for our businesses, said Franklin County Supervisor Lorie Smith. Over the next month or two, Blue Ridge Towers will begin construction on eight new wireless towers and additions to four existing towers. The system will provide internet speeds from 25-100 mbps.
