Addresses not in Phases
The current broadband internet access program is focused on areas of the county that currently do not have broadband access available. Of the 17,459 addresses across Orange County, 9,345 that are in the Town of Orange, Town of Gordonsville, Lake of the Woods, neighborhoods adjacent to Greene County, and limited areas near these population centers already have broadband internet access. The remaining addresses are located in the more rural areas of the county where homes and businesses are widely spaced, and commercial service providers have declined to provide service.
