About the Info Trail
The King and Queen Information Trail (KQInfoTrail) is a community "electronic village," a part of the Technology Opportunities Program, Getting Rural Virginia Connected. Funded by the US Department of Commerce, it is a project of Virginia Tech, the Blacksburg Electronic Village and Virginia Cooperative Extension with the endorsement of local government.
This "electronic village" can help to solve one critical issue in King and Queen communication across the County. It can connect residents to each other, community businesses and resources and, eventually, the world.
The name was selected after several layers of contests and is the creative idea of Tiffany Wyatt, a 6th grade student at Lawson-Marriott Elementary School. Tiffany received a Certificate of Recognition and a $100 U.S. Savings Bond for her imaginative effort.
A team (the Technology Leadership Team-TLT) of local residents gives direction to the Trail's design and development. Anyone who would like to be involved in this special project is invited to contact the King and Queen office of Virginia Cooperative Extension at (804) 785-5979 for more information.
