Shenandoah County is home to Shenandoah Telecommunications Co., or Shentel, the primary telecommunications provider in the Shenandoah Valley and serving Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Kentucky. The County’s information and communication sector constitutes a small, but growing, component of the local marketplace. This is supported by the existing fiber optic and high-speed internet infrastructure throughout the County, particularly along I-81 and within the various municipalities.
Significant investment into increased fiber and broadband infrastructure internet through the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI) has helped connect even the most remote parts of Shenandoah County to high speed internet. This investment has helped numerous entrepreneurs acheive success with the ability to work remotely while enjoying the best of rural Shenandoah County.
