The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program is Virginia’s opportunity to finish the job on extending broadband access and also make long-term, transformational investments into broadband affordability and adoption. With the $1.48 billion in BEAD funds for Virginia, DHCD is finalizing plans to extend broadband infrastructure to the remaining unserved locations without a funded solution for connectivity and designing programs to meaningfully address broadband affordability and adoption.

BEAD Progress Hub

The Office of Broadband has launched the BEAD Progress Hub, an interactive tool that allows users to track BEAD-funded projects across the Commonwealth. The Hub provides visibility into which locations are being served under the BEAD program, the internet service provider (ISP) in each area, and BEAD project status all in one place.
