“Verizon is committed to delivering the most reliable network experience and meeting customer’s connectivity needs where they live, work, and play,” said Leo Perreault, VP of Engineering and Operations at Verizon. “By deploying this additional capacity, we are providing more opportunities for our customers in the Savannah area to utilize Verizon’s best-in-class network to connect with families, friends, homes, and businesses.”

This work is part of Verizon’s massive multi-year, nationwide network transformation which has added more capabilities, upgraded the technology in the network, paved the way for personalized customer experiences and provided a platform for enterprises and developers to drive innovation. In 2023, Verizon committed to investing $112 million across the state of Georgia, with much of that allocated for the network upgrades in coastal Georgia. The investments announced today are a realization of that investment.

“We appreciate this substantial investment from Verizon into Chatham County, which will increase the level of connectivity for residents, businesses and visitors,” said Chester Ellis, Chatham County Commission Chairman. “Investments from industry leaders such as Verizon are proof that our County is growing and provides a stable environment for service providers to grow their footprint.”
