“Expansion of Broadband is great news for all of Queen Anne’s County. It is encouraging to see so many new companies expanding into our under-served areas, and the infusion of new money will hopefully allow the expansion to continue. As part of our two-pronged approach, we will now also focus on helping our served areas get upgraded equipment to meet the future needs. It is disheartening that it took a pandemic to raise this important infrastructure need to a crisis level. I look forward to the future when everyone has accessibility to affordable and reliable high-speed connectivity.” says County Commissioner, Jack Wilson

Queen Anne’s County has been working for several years to bring connectivity to some of our rural and under-served areas in the county. In 2018 a Broadband Advisory Committee was formed to advise and provide recommendations to the County Commissioners on the provision of broadband services and infrastructure in Queen Anne’s County.
