Down in southwest Virginia, in the heart of bluegrass country, right along the route of The Crooked Road, The Wired Road is under construction. The Wired Road is an integrated fiber and wireless, open, multi-service network that intends to bring high performance broadband services to Carroll and Grayson counties and the city of Galax.
The effort is led by the Blue Ridge Crossroads Economic Development Authority (BRCEDA) and funded in part with the assistance of the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. A highly energized management team of elected and appointed officials, business people, and community leaders have taken the project from a one page vision statement to putting the first customer on the network in ten months, with the long term goal of taking fiber to most homes and businesses in the 20,000 home region over the next four to five years.
