Spectrum Expands its State-of-the-Art Broadband Network in Coweta County, Georgia

NEWNAN, Ga. – Spectrum and the Coweta County Commission gathered today for a ceremonial groundbreaking on fiber-optic network expansion projects that will bring gigabit broadband and other Spectrum services to a total of more than 2,000 homes and small businesses in Coweta County, Georgia.

The first project is through a public-private partnership with Spectrum and Coweta County.  In conjunction with Spectrum’s investment, the Coweta County Commission is providing American Rescue Plan funding for the network expansion that is expected to reach more than 1,000 homes and small businesses in the county.

“We are excited to partner with Spectrum regarding a network expansion that will provide residents access to critical high-speed broadband to work, learn, and connect from home. This progress speaks to Coweta County’s dedication to bettering the quality of life for our citizens through the use of ARPA funds,” said Coweta County Chairman Bob Blackburn.

Spectrum will also align its existing Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) buildout to help speed deployment to an additional 1,000 homes and small businesses in the county, part of the company’s approximately $5 billion investment in unserved rural communities, which includes $1.2 billion won in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) RDOF auction. The company’s RDOF expansion will provide broadband access to approximately 1 million customer locations as estimated by the FCC across 24 states in the coming years.

“Closing the digital divide is critical to ensuring that every community, regardless of zip code, has access to 21^st century opportunities,” said U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson. “Spectrum is doing great work to bring connectivity to Georgia’s Third District through its high-speed expansion, and this access will provide strong economic growth for our local communities.”  

According to the Georgia state broadband map, with completion of both projects, nearly 100% of the locations within the county will have access to a broadband provider.

“Through RDOF, Spectrum is making a multiyear investment to extend gigabit broadband networks to unserved communities across America,” said Craig Loden, Vice President of Construction for Spectrum in Georgia. “Our commitment is making it possible to bring high-value broadband, mobile, TV and voice services to Coweta County. We will provide superior connectivity to local residents and small businesses at highly competitive prices, backed by an organization committed to craftsmanship and service.”
