NorCo broadband survey RUNS TO April 17

Northampton County has contracted with Design Nine Inc. of Blacksburg, VA., to provide a broadband study and is asking for public participation to help facilitate the study.

The company will analyze the types of broadband services available, broadband use patterns, gaps in existing coverage, and make recommendations to the county as to how to improve service.

A key part of the Design Nine data collection process is a public survey from both businesses and residents regarding their current broadband connections. Residential and business surveys will be made available to the public at select locations throughout the county, the U.S. Mail, as well as online via social media and the web.

The survey collection period will run through April 17.

The online surveys can be found here:
