Virginia 811, hosted by the Broadband Support Specialists, is convening the first Broadband Coordination Roundtable to bring together member utilities, utility locators, and contractors on the Eastern Shore to prepare for upcoming BEAD-funded broadband projects.

Developed with the Eastern Shore Broadband Authority, the roundtable supports smoother project execution and stronger collaboration across all participants.

Eastern Shore of VA Broadband Authority (ESVBA)
Member utilities
Excavators and contractors
Utility locators
Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
State Corporation Commission (SCC)

AGENDA:

Welcome & Purpose – Introductions, meeting objectives, and expectations
Project Context – Overview of BEAD timeline, work types, geographic focus, and key constraints
Stakeholder Perspectives – Locators, utilities, and contractors share insights and challenges
Action Items & Commitments – Assign owners, deadlines, and next steps
Open Q&A – Address questions and collaboration opportunities
Close – Recap key points, points of contact, and next coordination steps

Your participation helps ensure alignment, readiness, and safe project execution.
Join us as we coordinate first — so excavation can follow with confidence.
