Firefly Fiber March 3 Virtual Town Hall Explains Riddles Bridge Construction, Sign-Up

Western Goochland homeowners and renters in the Riddles Bridge RISE service zone heard from Firefly Fiber Broadband at a virtual town hall held at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, that explained upcoming construction and the company’s sign-up process. Firefly, the Central Virginia Electric Cooperative subsidiary implementing the RISE fiber project, framed the meeting as the moment "when it is time to sign up for service" and told attendees a recording would be made available to those who registered.

County officials partnered with Firefly to widen access to the session by offering an in-person viewing option at the Goochland County Administration Building. The livestream was shown in Conference Room 234 at 1800 Sandy Hook Road, Goochland, VA 23063, and the county repeated that residents were still encouraged to register online even if they planned to watch at the administration building. Goochland’s administrative contact listed for follow-up is P.O. Box 10, Goochland, VA 23063, phone 804-556-5800.

Firefly’s town halls page listed the event under the label "RISE Goochland (Riddles Bridge) — For residents living in the RISE Goochland (Riddles Bridge) service zones," with a "Sign up here" prompt on the company page. The firm also schedules zone-specific meetings elsewhere - its town halls calendar shows an Appalachian Power Keene meeting set for March 5, 2026 - reflecting the company’s pattern of holding meetings when a local sign-up window opens.

Local mapping used repeated language asking residents "Do you live in the purple?" to help identify eligibility. Multiple posts, including a Goochland-focused blog entry dated Monday, March 2, 2026, and county social posts, describe the Riddles Bridge service zone as including Goochland addresses served by Dominion Energy in the western part of the county; those map graphics show the service area shaded in purple.

Officials and Firefly reminded residents that the virtual town hall could be attended online or by phone and that the recording would be distributed to registrants. The announcements did not include construction start dates, pricing or installation fees, nor did they list the specific registration link or dial-in numbers in the county post; residents seeking those links or the official Riddles Bridge map should consult Firefly’s town halls page or contact the County Administration Office at 804-556-5800 for assistance. The March 3 town hall represented the next step in Firefly’s RISE rollout for western Goochland, with the county providing an administrative venue for residents without reliable internet access to view the presentation.
