Prince William County will deliver high-speed broadband access to 475 unserved or underserved locations in eight cities across the county over the next 12 months. Verizon is installing fiber-optic infrastructure in each location to support Gigabit speeds for broadband users with lower speed options also available. The Board of County Supervisors supported the project with the American Rescue Plan Act.

Prince William County’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Director of Information Technology, Rob Mancini, was recently recognized by Government Technology Magazine as one of its Top 25 Doers, Dreamers & Drivers for 2024.

Prince William County received third place in the 2024 annual Digital Counties Survey in the 250,000-499,999 population category. The annual award identifies the best technology practices among U.S. counties, including initiatives that streamline the delivery of government services, provide data analytics to allow decisions based on performance and outcomes.

DoIT launched the Prince William Technology Inclusion Initiative (TII) to help resolve chronic issues of technology access, affordability, and literacy across the County. A key tenet of our plans is the belief that delivering high-speed broadband access Countywide isn’t enough if residents can’t afford it, or might be missing some of the key skills required to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
