We commend Congressman Boucher for his tireless efforts in bringing much-needed technology infrastructure to Southwest Virginia. We also applaud those officials in Tazewell and Bland counties who worked to bring this grant money to their communities.
Initiative and perseverance pays off. And the proof of this will soon be evident in Tannersville and Mechanicsburg when the world truly is only a quick mouse click away.
