Webinar Duration: 1  hour

Rural counties across the nation share  the same challenges when it comes 
to broadband – including large  land area, dispersed populations, and limited 
funds.   Franklin County, Virginia, succeeded in meeting those challenges  
through an innovative best practice example of rural broadband  development. 
 As nationwide interest in rural broadband  increases as a result of 
billions of dollars of planned economic  stimulus funding, Franklin County’s 
example is critical and  timely.

Join Government Technology Magazine and the  Center for Digital Government 
for an interactive webinar to learn  about: 
    *   How Franklin County succeeded in meeting  the broadband needs of 
their rural community and reduced county  operational costs by applying an 
innovative approach to this  project

    *   How Franklin County was able to connect 16  fire & rescue stations 
to the network allowing for greater  information distribution and reporting 
and operational  improvement

    *   The critical role that federal grant  funding played in the 
process, and how you can identify similar  dollars for your community 

    *   How existing county assets like towers,  water tanks, and poles 
were leveraged in exchange for  services

    *   The innovative best practices that allowed  the county to achieve 
their goals at only 24 percent of the  original estimated project  cost
