Adesta has begun construction on a $7.8 million contract
it was awarded from the Mid-Atlantic Broadband Cooperative, Inc.
(MBC) to procure and install 300 miles of fiber-optic cable
in Southside Virginia. The cable is being installed by both
aerial and buried construction methods primarily along U.S.
Route 58 from Emporia to Stuart, Virginia as part of MBC's
Regional Broadband Initiative (RBI) project.
The fiber will connect to the northern 400-mile section of
the RBI also under construction by Adesta under a separate
contract. The project's completion date is set for June 2006.
MBC is a non-profit cooperative established with funding from
the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Authority
(EDA) and the Virginia Tobacco Commission to manage the RBI project.
The co-op is funded in part by a $6 million grant from the EDA,
which is one of the largest parcels of cash the department has
delivered to any single project.
