Once completed, the entirely underground fiber network will serve approximately 150,000 homes and businesses throughout coastal Georgia, LiveOak said. Additionally, the company’s initiatives have created over 100 new jobs for local residents in the areas it serves.

In addition to the planned build areas, LiveOak announced the expansion of its services to residents and businesses on Tybee Island and in the Bacon Park neighbourhood of Savannah, Georgia.
