Welcome to clarkeconnect.org

Clarke County, Virginia, maintains this website for county residents and business owners in order to provide up-to-date information regarding broadband internet availability as well as to help facilitate the improvement and expansion of broadband and telecommunications across Clarke County.

Explore this site, and reach out to the service providers listed within.


Note: In December 2021, the governor of Virginia announced that Clarke County is one of eight counties in the Northern Shenandoah Valley that will share a $95,303,000 Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI) grant for much-needed rural broadband infrastructure. After the Commonwealth announced funding in late 2021, all parties involved signed a project agreement. Fiber construction is expected to begin in spring 2023 and conclude in July 2025. Find details about the Broadband Internet Access project on the county website, or read “VATI Rural Broadband Internet Access Project Explained” under News at right.
