RVA757 Connects releases plan for global internet hub

RVA757 Connects, a nonprofit focused on regional cooperation for economic development in Richmond and Hampton Roads, released on Thursday its 10-point strategic plan for transforming the “megaregion” into the next global internet hub.

The larger area stretching from greater Richmond to Hampton Roads has multiple strengths in digital infrastructure, said John Martin, president and CEO of RVA757 Connects, as he presented the plan during the organization’s 2023 Convergence conference, held at the Williamsburg Lodge. “It’s really going to take two cities to make the next global internet hub,” he said.
