TJPDC joined Firefly Fiber Broadband and Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) on September 9 in celebrating the first REC internet connections in Madison County. TJPDC, Firefly and REC are partners in the 2022 Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI)/RISE project, which is administered by the TJPDC and ultimately will make high-speed internet available to more than 36,000 homes and businesses in a 13-county area in Central Virginia.
