Stafford County Government: "Stafford County announced today that it finished ninth nationwide in the 20th Anniversary Digital Counties Survey. Stafford placed in the 150,000-249,999-population category for the survey with Arlington, VA, placing first – the only other Virginia county in the top 10."

"The survey, developed in partnership with the National Association of Counties and conducted by the Center for Digital Government, identifies the best technology practices among U.S. counties, including initiatives that streamline the delivery of government services: provide data analytics to allow decisions based on performance and outcomes; enhance cybersecurity; and apply innovative and emerging technologies to county priorities."

"Stafford gained recognition for its Virginia Smart Community Testbed, which houses developing technologies for the commonwealth. These developments include Internet of Things platforms that will fully integrate with 5G and other new and emerging technologies for smart cities."
