                                                 Executive Summary

          Virginia funds broadband deployment within the Commonwealth through several programs.
    The largest and main program is the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI).

           VATI provides grants to localities partnered with internet service providers to finance the
    deployment of high-speed broadband to locations (called a “passing”) within the Commonwealth
    that are determined to be “unserved.” Passings are places where the internet can be accessed – thus
    it could be a business, community anchor, a home, or an apartment complex. A passing is
    unserved1 if it lacks access to internet speeds of 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) download and
    20 Megabits (Mbps) upload (“100/20”).

           This quarterly report is required by statute and has been prepared by the Office of Broadband
    located within the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). This
    report tracks the technical performance of the VATI provider partners in their work to deploy
    broadband. This report adheres to the factors that the General Assembly directed to be tracked and
    presents them in the manner directed by the General Assembly.

          Below are the key takeaways from the report:

            ● Total passings: VATI FY22, FY23, and FY24 projects will provide access to
              broadband infrastructure to 334,873 passings across Virginia.
            ● Leveraged local and private funding: In addition to $828.4 million in state and federal
              funding awarded, FY22, FY23, and FY24 projects leverage a total of $1.228 billion in
              private and local match funding. To-date, $237 million of these awarded funds have
              been expended, with $297.7 million of these matching funds have been expended.
            ● Locations Built-To: To date, FY22 and FY23 projects have provided broadband access
              to 106,000 locations. The 10 FY24 projects are getting under contract and will begin
              final engineering and design, as well as construction in late 2024 through early 2025.
            ● Maximum Speeds Available: Over 93.4% of projects funded in FY22, FY23, and FY24
              offer functionally gigabit (1,000 Mbps) download speeds, and over 73.7% offer
              functionally gigabit upload speeds.

          In conclusion, 32 out of the 61 projects funded from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
    (ARPA) and General Funds from FY22, FY23, and FY24 are scheduled to being completed on
    time as of the time of this report’s submission. 29 projects, DHCD identifies, are at risk for
    incompletion or underperformance. Justification for these delays include the make-ready effort,
    which includes preparing existing electric poles for aerial broadband network construction, as well
    as supply chain and labor markets, streamlining utility locate efforts, railroad crossings, the
    permitting process to lay fiber in state-owned rights of way along roads, and permitting to cross
    federally owned lands. Looking forward, DHCD will continue its ongoing work to monitor these
    projects, assisting where appropriate in mitigating these broadband deployment challenges.

  In the FY22 VATI process, the definition of unserved was set at 25/3. This definition of unserved has been upgraded to
those passings lacking access to broadband at speeds of 100/20 for the FY23 VATI process.
                                        Formal Report

        Pursuant to Chapter 1 of the Virginia Acts of Assembly of Special Session II of 2021
and continued forward in the 2024 Special Session 1 under Chapter 2 of the Virginia Acts of
Assembly, enclosed is the Quarterly Performance Report of the Virginia Telecommunication
Initiative (VATI).

      Item 103 L.6. of the 2024 Acts of Assembly Special Session I requires that DHCD deliver
a quarterly performance report on funds awarded through the 2021 Acts of Assembly Special
Session I (also known as the budget bill) of allocated ARPA funds, as well as state general funds
awarded through the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative since the aforementioned FY2022
budget cycle.
       Administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development
(DHCD), VATI enhances the sustainability and growth of communities throughout the
Commonwealth by preparing those communities to build, utilize, and capitalize on broadband
infrastructure. The primary objective of VATI is to provide financial assistance to supplement
construction costs by private sector broadband service providers to extend service to areas that
presently are unserved by any broadband provider. This program requires a public-private
partnership.

      The directive to form this quarterly performance report establishes that:
             To the extent possible, the quarterly performance report shall contain
             information by grant recipient and year on the following metrics: (1) Number of
             passings; (2) Grant dollars expended by fund source (State and Local Recovery
             Fund, Capital Project Fund, general fund state grants and match); (3) Contract
             performance period, and on-time progress towards project delivery; (4)
             Maximum advertised project speeds available; and, (5) Achievement of key
             project milestones. The quarterly report shall be due within 30 days of the close
             of the quarter. The quarterly performance report shall include an evaluation of
             any projects under risk of incompletion or underperformance. The department in
             providing such risk assessment shall include a reason for the project's delay.
       In accordance with this structure, DHCD has included information in this report of the
projects that were awarded funds since December 2021, and includes the projects announced
in the FY2022, FY2023, and FY2024 cycles, including those projects funded under the
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund and Coronavirus Capital Projects Funds
allocations under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Project information displayed in this
report reflects monthly report data from September 2024, which reflects project data as of the
end of August 2024.
       Out of the 61 projects funded in FY22, FY23, and FY24, 29 have requested and received
timeline extensions, and, per DHCD’s analysis, 25 are considered to be at low risk and 4 are
considered to be at high risk. DHCD has established risk definitions specific to funding year.
A summary of these definitions provided in the table below. The definition of risk category
varies for the FY2022 funding year, as this funding year contained American Rescue Plan Act
funding, which has a Congressional expenditure deadline of December 31, 2026.

 FY22              High Risk                 if that end date reflects the original contractually established
                                             end date or is a result of an extension.

                                             the grantee is significantly behind the current approved
                                             milestone timeline and has not yet requested a timeline
                                             extension from the original completion date.

                                             extension beyond the originally approved contract end
                                             date.

        DHCD staff continue to closely monitor the continued impact of challenges surrounding
make-ready, which includes preparing existing electric poles for aerial broadband network
construction. DHCD has recently funded the first projects under the Virginia Make Ready
Initiative, which is designed to mitigate the impacts of elevated make-ready costs. DHCD is
closely monitoring the impact of this program on accelerating delivery of affected VATI
projects.
      Other deployment challenges which are being monitored by DHCD include supply
chain and labor markets, streamlining utility locate efforts, railroad crossings, the permitting
process to lay fiber in state-owned rights of way along roads, and permitting to cross federally
owned lands. DHCD and its local government and internet service provider partners are
continuing to develop innovative solutions to meet these challenges and deliver high-speed
broadband access as quickly as possible for residents in these project areas.
     The project summaries included in this report are updated quarterly on the VATI Project
Dashboard, accessible through dhcd.virginia.gov/vati.
