Because of its local heritage, GVTC maintains a strong bond with the surrounding areas and is seen as a community leader. GVTC employees live, work and raise families alongside many of the people they serve. This connection is the motivation behind GVTC's ongoing community outreach. In fact, over the years, this generosity has grown as fast, and with as much dedication, as their coverage area and their technology.

Even GVTC's auditorium at the Smithson Valley location is used on a regular basis by various community organizations as a convenient and well-equipped meeting space.

It's only natural, that after 50 years of service, GVTC sees the community first as their extended family and customers second. And it's this "home-grown" and local flavor that makes GVTC the most valued communications service provider for Hill Country residents.
