FIBER NETWORK IN GLYNN’S FUTURE Emerging regional broadband service provider LiveOak Fiber recently announced that it is investing $60 million to construct and operate a next-generation highspeed fiber optic network in Glynn County. The network will provide fiber-based broadband internet with 10G per second speed and communications solutions to homes and businesses throughout its digital footprint. “The people of Glynn County are underserved and lack the critical infrastructure and services needed to foster both a growing population and attract new businesses,” says Jody Craft, President of LiveOak Fiber. “Building out this much needed infrastructure and services in Glynn County will be a true game changer. Efficient, modern communications for education, healthcare, local businesses and residents is going to change lives for the better.” Construction on the project is planned for later this year and the first customers are expected to be connected as early as February 2023.
