AT&T is proud to announce that it has been selected to expand AT&T Fiber to more than 20,000 residential and business locations in Louisiana as part of a public-private project. The project is contingent upon a final contract between AT&T and the state. The state of Louisiana plans to invest nearly $55 million in Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funding through the state’s GUMBO 2.0 program, and AT&T will invest more than $150 million to provide fiber to these locations and additional households and businesses in the project area. The BEAD funded project is expected to be complete in 4-years.
