City of Elberton Manager Lanier Dunn announced Monday that the city and Elbert County Board of Commissioners’ planned expansion of ElbertonNET services is looking to determine which customers in areas of planned services will subscribe if construction is completed in 2022.
Dunn said in order to have an address considered for the construction design of the new network expansion, residents should register their addresses by Sept. 30 at connect.elberton.net or by calling ElbertonNET at 706-213-FAST (3278).
Construction is being planned for the general areas south of Bowman including Deep Creek and Fork Creek Roads along with Pulliam Mill, Thirteen Forks, Heardmont and Pearl Mill Roads.
The full list of roads being considered, along with smaller roads between these areas includes: Browns Bridge, Calhoun, Christian, Deep Creek, Dempsey Brown, Dunn, Fork Creek, Headmont, Kellum, King Hall Mill, Lloyd Rousey, Middleton Church, Moon, Pearl Mill, Pulliam Mill, Seymour, Shaw, Stanley Maxwell, Thirteen Forks and Winns Mill Roads, Cornell Dairy, Dry Fork Landing, Johnsontown and Middleton Shores Drives, Fork Creek Circle and Rehoboth Road Extension.
“By registering your address now you will be more likely to make it into the construction design of the new network,” Dunn said. “Registration does not guarantee service, but the address will be considered for the new design.”
The expansion is part of a project that Dunn said could serve over 700 homes and that BOC Chair Lee Vaughn said could allow 93 percent of the county to have access to broadband internet.
