LA PLATA, Md. (July 30, 2008)—The Charles County Commissioners announced that for the sixth year in a row Charles County has been selected as “The Nation’s Most Digitally Advanced County” for populations of less than 150,000.
To be eligible for the award, a county must be a member of the National Association of Counties (NACo). There are 3,066 county members of NACo, with over 2,700 in Charles County’s population category.
