The project connects more than 1,000 residents in Altavista and northern Campbell County near Eastbrook Road and Old Rustburg Road to Xfinity high-speed internet.
County Broadband Authority chairman Tom Lawton said the rollout supports critical infrastructure for residents and businesses, while Comcast said the service aids remote work, telehealth, streaming and gaming.
