 We recently celebrated the expansion of Rural Broadband across Fayette County! The event took place at Jimtown Baptist Church, a historical hamlet in District 12. Commissioner Rogers and her office, the whole team at Spectrum, and Mayor Linda Gorton played a huge role in this expansion. Now that the buildout has begun, the project will continue moving forward and onward!
