County Commissioner Wheeler gave our group and update on the progress of Yorkco broadband. They are working towards the goal of countywide broadband access to bring faster, more reliable, and more affordable internet to your home or business.  They believe that broadband is crucial infrastructure for education, telehealth, business, and our residents’ general quality of life.  By investing in broadband and supporting public private partnerships to connect internet to homes and businesses, they can ensure York County is an attractive place to live and a competitive place to do business. The main spine of the service is completed and they are in negotiations with providers to make the connection to the end users.
