Broadband Network Expands in Charles County | Business

The following information was sent to us by Crystal Hunt:

The Charles County Commissioners are pleased to announce that Nanjemoy Volunteer Fire Department and Mt. Hope/Nanjemoy Elementary School are one step closer to being connected to the County's Institutional high speed fiber optic network.  Fiber optic cables for these locations have begun to be laid, as part of the One Maryland Broadband Network (OMBN) State project, which provides access to high-speed Internet broadband services for community institutions (e.g., schools, hospitals, community colleges, etc.) across the State of Maryland.

In Charles County, the project will connect the Nanjemoy Volunteer Fire Department and Mount Hope/Nanjemoy Elementary School to the Charles County Government fiber optic network.  This will result in much faster Internet service for both locations.

"The OMBN program is providing much needed high speed internet connections to our most rural communities", said Commissioner Debra M. Davis, Esq. (District 2).  "This is a step in the right direction in ensuring access for the entire County".
