County reports broadband gains but 118 locations remain unserved
Summary
The Comprehensive Plan reports 1,174 locations with fixed broadband as of June 2024 and 1,011 locations under federal/state grant commitments; it flags 118 remaining unserved locations and prioritizes continued deployment.
Chattahoochee County’s Comprehensive Plan summarizes broadband availability and grant activity: the plan reports 1,174 locations with fixed broadband as of June 2024 and identifies 1,011 additional locations encumbered by grant commitments from USDA, ARPA and FCC RDOF programs for fiber or high‑speed service.
Despite those commitments, the plan states that 118 locations remain unserved on the county’s availability map. The plan emphasizes prioritizing broadband in the comprehensive plan element to position the community for state and federal funding and cites Georgia’s ACE Act (SB 402) and the Georgia Broadband Deployment Initiative as policy drivers for local broadband planning.
Grant recipients named in the plan include Charter Fiberlink/Spectrum, Flint Electric/Conexon Connect, and Public Service Telephone Company; the plan commits to facilitate deployment to remaining sites and to encourage service improvements for low‑speed areas.
