BEAVER DAM, Ky. (9/28/15) - As part of AT&T's continuing efforts to drive economic development and investment in Kentucky, AT&T and representatives from the Green River Regional Industrial Development Authority and the Ohio County Economic Development Association today announced the Bluegrass Crossings Business Centre in Beaver Dam, Ky., has been designated AT&T Fiber Ready. The AT&T Fiber Ready designation helps economic development leaders more effectively position their communities for site selection by emphasizing the availability of high-speed, fiber-based services. "For years, AT&T has invested in Kentucky to deliver high-speed Internet in urban and rural areas all across the Commonwealth using the latest wired and wireless technologies, and this announcement offers an opportunity to highlight the Bluegrass Crossings Business Centre as one of many places across the Commonwealth where AT&T's fiber infrastructure is in place and ready to help local businesses drive job creation," said Hood Harris, president of AT&T Kentucky. "I'm proud of the work our AT&T Kentucky employees are doing to deploy fiber-based infrastructure that delivers high-speed Internet access that Kentuckians want and need, and I am grateful that policymakers across the Commonwealth are increasingly embracing positive and pro-business policies that encourage businesses of all types to invest here." In today's world, connectivity is vital to new employers and businesses of every type. AT&T has been deploying high-speed, fiber-optic infrastructure across the Commonwealth for years, and the AT&T Fiber Ready designation is a tool for economic development leaders to highlight the assets available in their facilities. "Fiber connectivity is essential for many businesses in today's economy, and as we work to attract new businesses to the community, this designation will help to make it clear that world-class communications networks are readily available for our tenants," said Chase Vincent, Executive Director of the Ohio County Economic Development Alliance. "Our elected officials at the state and local levels have worked hard in recent years to improve the business environment in Kentucky, and the policies they pursue in Frankfort and here at home are vital to improving our chances of bringing new jobs to the community." "All across the Commonwealth, there are hard workers, strong communities and people ready to do the work necessary to keep this economy growing and developing, and when we can highlight the presence of these vital communications resources, it serves to make our communities even more attractive to prospective employers," said State Representative Tommy Thompson. "It truly has been remarkable to watch our economy grow and our communities succeed as we have worked with local leadership improve the business environment in Kentucky, and it is always encouraging when the business community comes along side and provides a resource like this designation to help emphasize what our community brings to the table when companies are making the important decisions on where they have the best chance to succeed," said State Senator C.B. Embry. The official announcement will be held at 11 a.m. ,tomorrow (9/30), in front of Daicel Safety Systems of America (DSSA), who will be the first facility to become a customer that is fiber ready.
