Area Broadband Project Making Progress

Stephens County Development Authority Executive Director Tim Martin said that crews have finished building out the first couple of phases of a regional high-speed broadband loop.  “18 miles of fiber has already been built that connects Toccoa to Habersham County,” said Martin. “The 70 miles from Toccoa down through Stephens County, into Franklin County, over into Hart County has been built. The North Georgia Network is leasing that fiber from Hart EMC.”  The project is building what eventually would be a 150-mile high-speed broadband fiber loop through Stephens, Franklin, Hart, Banks, Habersham, and Rabun counties.  According to Martin, the first phases that have been completed are now in the process of becoming operational.
