On Feb. 8, the MACC (Metropolitan Area Communications Commission) Board of Commissioners recommended the approval of a video franchise agreement reached with Verizon for 10 municipalities and Washington County. Today, Washington County formally approved the MACC recommendation, following earlier approvals by the 10 municipalities.
Verizon already offers FiOS Internet and FiOS phone service. The new franchise agreement will allow more than 156,000 Washington County households to receive Verizon FiOS TV early next year.
