Source: Georgia Technology Authority, BEAD Final Proposal data files as submitted (as submitted 2025-09-03). Summed per provider from Georgia's as-submitted proposal files, the only per-provider data the state publishes. They total $309,731,420 and 119,697 locations against NTIA's approved $304,638,706 and 119,814, so treat these as the submitted figures, not the approved ones. Provisional awards can change as the state finalizes agreements.

What it means for contractors

Fiber locations are the ones that turn into construction: underground and aerial placement, boring, splicing, drops, and restoration. The providers that won these areas build them, often with subcontractors. Check the Georgia broadband office's BEAD page for the providers selected in each area. Those providers, and the primes they hire, are who to call about sub work.
