The Eastern Shore of Virginia Broadband Authority (ESVBA) is a public telecommunications authority established by Accomac County and Northampton County to build and operate a regional fiber optic backbone along the shore, extending from the Bay Bridge tunnel via Route 13 into Maryland. The backbone, funded in part by state and federal grants, now serves as the infrastructure backbone that supports connections for businesses and internet service providers, enabling scalable access to high-capacity networks. The organization positions itself within the telecommunications industry as a regional infrastructure provider that offers connectivity solutions to commercial customers and ISPs, addressing the need for reliable, scalable fiber access in the Eastern Shore region of Virginia. Based in Exmore, Virginia, ESVBA focuses on maintaining and expanding backbone infrastructure to facilitate connectivity for local businesses and partner service providers. Recent developments include ongoing activities related to sustaining government-supported funding and the broader role of the backbone in regional broadband availability.
