96 [link removed] Friend,

I ran for our
state’s top office on a promise to build a better Georgia for ALL
Georgians.

From Day One of my campaign, and then of my
administration, expanding access to high-speed broadband internet in our
rural communities has been among my top priorities.

In recent years,
high-speed internet has become more and more essential – for our
businesses and farms, our schools, our hospitals and clinics, and more.
Over the last 12 months, as life has increasingly moved online, this
point has been hammered home.

That’s why I was so proud to help
unveil a plan this week to build high-speed broadband lines, which will
reach 80,000 homes and businesses that currently lack access!

this week’s announcement here.

It’s outstanding news, Friend.
This is a huge step forward to expand rural access to high-speed
internet, representing the largest such expansion since I signed
legislation into law that allows local electric membership corporations
to offer broadband service.

Yet we still have a TON of work to do.
Today, more than 500,000 Georgia homes and businesses lack access to
adequate internet speeds. That’s 11 percent of our state.

We must
continue to pursue creative solutions to get the job done.

to keep you posted on additional developments as we work to close the
gap on this urban-rural divide.
