THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Mid‑Atlantic Broadband Communities Corp. is seeking a conditional use permit to construct and operate a small telecommunications colocation facility on about 7.3 acres to support broadband expansion in Sussex County and the region. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions, but the Board of Supervisors tabled the CUP to the June 18, 2026 meeting to consider staff’s siting recommendations and local feedback.
The facility will be a critical node in the county’s broadband network, creating demand for fiber construction, network equipment, power, site work, and ongoing operations. ISPs, fiber contractors, wireless providers, and data center support vendors should monitor this approval and explore partnerships with Mid‑Atlantic Broadband and the county for build‑out and future service expansions.
Staff suggested relocating the facility to the back of the property to preserve frontage for future commercial use, showing interest in broader site planning.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Sussex County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Sussex County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Sussex County before the RFP is published?
