Pictured below is the Stafford County Economic Development who won the FRS Grant in 2016.

"The $5000 grant from the Foundation for Rural Service paid for technology installation at downtown building we renovated to be used as a business incubator/shared workspace/remote work facility, including the installation of the wiring within the building as well as equipment. (https://www.staffordecodevo.com/business-incubator-and-remote-work-space.html)

We now have 16 workstations that have access to the 10 Gig high speed fiber optic connection, ensuring that anyone in Stafford County can have access to a high speed internet connection in order to do remote work. Our facility also has a conference room with smart TV that can be used by the public for video conferences.

We have long seen an advantage to helping people access job opportunities and markets that exist outside this geographic region, but in the current environment remote work is all the more relevant. We are thankful for the grant support that makes the technology in this public facility available. This summer we have two AmeriCorps VISTAs and two interns based in this facility, as well two full time permanent staff and participants who are utilizing our remote work training programs and shared workspace.

This center would not function without good technology and especially without high speed internet, and we are thankful for the support that helped launch it!" -Carolyn Dunn, Stafford County Economic Development executive director ... See more

We remember those who have laid down their lives so that our country could enjoy this day...
