Want to Help Improve Broadband Service in West Virginia? |
The WV Broadband Mapping Program (BMP), a public/private partnership, is working to improve high-speed Internet access around the state. The BMP, will empower regional planning councils and commercial providers with the data needed to identify those areas that will maximize broadband potential.
The BMP is a five-year initiative charged with creating statewide awareness, mapping and maintaining the state broadband inventory and conducting planning efforts to expand access to all West Virginians.
As part of this effort, local residents and businesses are being asked to complete a broadband survey. The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Reg4BBSurvey. Participation is vital in reaching the State's broadband goals. Your responses will remain anonymous. For more information please contact Cassandra Hughart of Region 4 Planning and Development Council at (304) 872-4970 ext. 300. |
