Mapping the State of Broadband in Vermont
Stone partnered with the Vermont Community Broadband Board (VCBB) to develop a comprehensive GIS platform to track broadband expansion funding and network buildout across Vermont. Using ArcGIS Online, Hub, Dashboards, and StoryMaps, Stone created a centralized platform with hosted feature layers, web maps, and applications to capture, communicate, and track progress. This included the Explore VCBB website, which hosts public tools and data, and the VCBB Broadband Implementation Atlas, featuring over 40 datasets relevant to broadband expansion. Stone also supported the federally funded BEAD Program by developing the VT BEAD Challenge Portal, an ArcGIS Online-based solution used to justify additional funding for broadband expansion in Vermont.
