The current franchise agreement with Verizon -- called a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity -- expires on Tuesday, June 22. According to the county, the pandemic derailed its efforts to negotiate a new agreement with Verizon and this one-year extension would maintain Verizon's services through that renegotiating process. https://www.arlnow.com/2021/06/11/county-likely-to-extend-agreement-with-verizon-for-fios-service/
