Broadband Project Still Moving Forward

A broadband project involving Stephens County continues to move forward.  On Tuesday, Stephens County Commissioners unanimously approved an intergovernmental agreement regarding the broadband project that will build a 150-mile fiber loop through Stephens, Franklin, Hart, Banks, Habersham, and Rabun counties.  Stephens County Development Authority Executive Director Tim Martin said that the North Georgia Network is making preparations to begin building out the broadband loop.  "We are very, very excited about this project. Things still take time, but we are expecting to see fiber being hung on poles and electronics buried in the ground at the end of this year and the first of next year.”  Martin went on to say that the first phase of work will take place in Stephens County.
