The Virginia Land and Energy Navigator (VaLEN) brings together GIS information related to prime farm and forestland, land conservation, brownfields, transmission lines, and other topics to support land use planning and decision-making at the local level. 

Commonwealth Connection (Virginia Broadband Availability Map)

In 2021, the Virginia General Assembly passed a budget that included the creation of a broadband availiability map and a collection process that was more granular than the current FCC 477 maps and collection process. Many elements from the Virginia Broadband Planning and Analysis Toolbox were migrated to the new Commonwealth Collection website.
