FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Georgia BEAD Volume 1 Initial Proposal available for public comment through
October 18

September 19, 2023 - To support the state of Georgia’s Broadband Equity,
Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, the Georgia Technology Authority
(GTA) has released Volume 1 of the Initial Proposal
<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Hw3Y3v2I4QRMYDt487Q51Cs6fE3sQ8ROmQMrDmrscwkmYsvP1obkb2UC7vfV3BPSlV715iUUYz8zrl5kFomvzhG8Zwo1rkmkZnLHNtM4le0dteAjHQL1RWb06fJikIOMHzijL5yP-9ttLHA8n9WTeZ4NcL4nvN2yADfZDamrm55EScUEAcXIeg==&c=NY3qYupqRAd2dMHq-9_Y6twkGBeb_IlgvWUs6K3N6l-0jQNWbfwFKw==&ch=DvTHt5UsV20jkGFVs4zLsBlwg3EG0GqUTprpyaqDWh84X9sYFk7OrA==>
for
public comment. Georgians are invited to review Volume 1 and submit any
feedback by filling out the online webform.


Volume 1 outlines existing broadband funding in Georgia, a list of the
locations designated as unserved and underserved, community anchor
institutions (CAIs), and an overview of the proposed plan for the state
challenge process. This challenge process, which will take place following
federal approval of Volume 1, allows entities to challenge the status of
served, unserved, and underserved locations, including CAIs.


Additionally, GTA is interested in feedback on additional CAIs that meet
the criteria defined in Section 4 of Volume 1 that are not currently
included in the posted list.


There will be another request for public comment for Volume 2 of the
Initial Proposal this fall.
