Last Thursday, CDF hosted a breakfast for a group of business and technology experts in Gwinnett County. CDF Chair John Watson and Senior Advisor Chuck Clay led a roundtable discussion on how Gwinnett County can continue to engage in the future of broadband technology in Georgia.
Gwinnett has been a leading community in Georgia in attracting investment and technology companies. There was a robust conversation about how the growth of broadband deployment supports many industries in Georgia. Education programs, health care systems, and the state’s largest economic engine, agriculture, all depend on new technologies and innovation in order to operate and develop more effectively. Overall, there was widespread agreement that broadband access is increasingly critical in our lives and its infrastructure is becoming as important to economic development as transportation and public works.
