Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (NASDAQ: SHEN) completed a $20 million project to bring gigabit broadband internet service to more than 4,100 previously unserved homes in Campbell County, Virginia.

The project was funded through the Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) program, Shentel's capital investment, and a contribution from Campbell County. VATI is administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.

"The Campbell County Board of Supervisors has been working for years to implement countywide broadband access," said Frank Rogers, County Administrator of Campbell County. "Our recent partnership with Shentel has been an outstanding example of a public-private partnership that effectively expands this critical service in Campbell."

The company completed the construction project on schedule and within budget, according to the press release statement.

"By working closely with state and county partners, Shentel was able to extend a high‑quality network to thousands of locations that were previously unserved, creating expanded connectivity for residents and the community," said Chris Kyle, VP of Regulatory & Industry Affairs at Shentel.

Shentel provides broadband services through fiber optic and cable networks to customers in eight states in the eastern United States. The company owns a regional network with over 19,400 route miles of fiber.
