Sevier County mapping shows 1,608 underserved and 2,768 unserved homes in Tennessee BEAD program
Summary
Director Andrew Temple told the committee that Sevier County has been split into three BEAD regions and that mapping identifies 1,608 underserved homes and 2,768 unserved homes; no funding decisions were made at the meeting.
Sevier County staff reported mapping results for the Tennessee Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program at the Sept. 5 joint committee meeting.
Director Andrew Temple told the committee that the county has been divided into three BEAD regions and that mapping identifies 1,608 homes as underserved and 2,768 homes as unserved. No specific funding allocations or procurement decisions were made during the meeting.
Temple's update is an early step in aligning county broadband needs with the state's BEAD program priorities; the counts will inform future outreach and planning but do not themselves change service levels. The committee did not take formal action on broadband at this session.
