After nearly two years of planning and development, Stafford County will soon have a grand opening for the Virginia Smart Community Testbed on May 25.
Stafford County began a partnership with the Virginia Center for Innovative Technology in 2019 to establish the downtown area as a testbed for new smart technology and devices.
According to information from the county government, the partnership has generated over $1 million in smart technology pilot programs over the last 12 to 15 months. It has attracted a few technology companies who have sent staff to participate in the testbed, such as Verizon and McLean-based OST, inc.
The majority of Stafford supervisors believe there’s a need for affordable housing in the county and want to find ways to encourage builders to provide it.
