WEBER CITY, Va. – More than $45 million in grants and loans from the federal stimulus package will provide high-speed Internet access to 7,500 homes, businesses and community institutions in four Southwest Virginia localities.

The funding also could open the Lenowisco Planning District – including the city of Norton, and Lee, Scott and Wise counties – to numerous economic development opportunities, including major telecommunications facilities and cottage industries based out of people’s homes.

“It is critical that we make these investments,” U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher, D-9th, said Monday as he announced the funding package during a news conference at the Weber City Town Hall. “This infrastructure is the foundation of our future economic growth.”

A public water and sewer project in Patrick Springs will ensure residential, industrial and commercial development, according to 9th District U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher.

“This is a perfect example of if you build it, they will come,” said Boucher, D-Abingdon, who spoke at a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday for the $5.2 million project.

 
Boucher worked to secure $5 million in federal funds to build the new system along the U.S. 58 corridor.
