BrightRidge Broadband Celebrates 20K customers

BrightRidge has extended our nation leading Fiber Broadband network to 6,342 additional homes in non-grant areas in western Johnson City, along Cherokee Rd, Jonesborough, and sixty underground subdivisions since July 1, 2025.

We completed the fiber build to 351 homes in the TN-ECD middle-mile grant area near Fall Branch ahead of our projected schedule. The broadband grant build in South Central is near completion for 600 locations, with customer installs beginning in May. This portion of the project will be completed three months earlier than originally projected.

BrightRidge is also actively applying for federal BEAD (Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program) for matching funds to continue the expansion of our Fiber Broadband network to an additional 1,400 homes in the rural unserved areas of our community.
