The Middle Peninsula Alliance has issued a request for qualifications for professional services firms interested in creating a business plan for PamunkeyNet.

According to the Mathews County website, the business plan project is funded by a grant from GO Virginia.

Responses are due by 2 p.m. on March 7.
