City of Perry Receives Designation as Broadband Ready Community

The City of Perry was designated as a “Broadband Ready Community” by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs earlier this week.

A “Broadband Ready Community” exhibits collaboration and innovation by identifying broadband as essential infrastructure in furthering the community.

“The City of Perry’s Broadband Ready designation demonstrates we are embracing technology and recognize this infrastructure is important to continue attracting businesses and remote workers to Perry,” said Ashley Hardin, City of Perry Economic Development Administrator.

This designation was received by completing an online application and establishing compliance with the adoption of a comprehensive plan inclusive of the broadband services element and a model ordinance to assist in streamlining the permitting process.

Perry joins more than 50 communities across Georgia in leading the charge to expand broadband services.
