Stockbridge and the surrounding areas have more fiber optic infrastructure than most cities in Georgia making the city a prime location for technology, medical, financial services, and film & tv sector development and jobs! Up to 10 Gigabyte fiber optic Internet speeds are now available in Stockbridge and other areas in Henry County because we went after fiber starting in 2014 with our Henry Gigabit group! We partnered with Reeshard Scott when dialup speeds were all we had available in Henry County! Today in Stockbridge we have AT&T Fiber, Spectrum Fiber, Xfinity Fiber, TMobile 5G, Verizon 5G, Spectrum 5G, AT&T 5G, and more! When I was elected in 2016 we set the bar high to have every city building connected to fiber optics by 2020! We invited AT&T, Spectrum/Charter, Comcast/XFinity, T-Mobile. and independent providers to city hall to challenge them to provide fiber in Stockbridge and Henry County! Today in Stockbridge we have 10 Gig Internet available to 95% of the city limits and 5G wireless available to 100% of the city limits. Very few cities in is Georgia have more fiber internet options available than Stockbridge. Stockbridge and surrounding areas have faster internet available than most of Georgia! I want to give a special thank you to Professor Daniel Howard from Ga Tech for following through on our discussion at the Cities United Conference by Georgia Municipal Association and working with Comcast/Xfinity on committing to provide fiber to 100% of the 30281 zip code in Stockbridge after I shared our struggle for decent internet in 2017 after his class. Comcast then followed through with a press release promising fiber to Stockbridge and they followed through! AT&T would not be outdone and raced to match Comcast. I have AT&T Fiber Internet and HD TV, I absolutely love it. #Stockbridgega #Stockbridgega #McDonoughga #LocustGroveGa #Hamptonga #henrycountyga #LocustGrovega #StockbridgeAmphitheater #Gacities #Municipal #Stockbridge #attfiber #fiberinternet #spectrumfiber #xfinityfiber #xfinityfiber #tmobile5g #verizon5g #filmandtv #techjobs #Medical #healthandwellness #healthandwellnessjourney #piedmonthenry #atlanta #atl #georgia (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJdN5EOUe3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tuesday, Community Development For Real People (CD4RP) will collect Christmas Toys for Adopt A Family for the 9th Annual Adopt A Christmas Toy Giveaway. We need your help supporting our 9th Annual Adopt A Family Christmas Toy Giveaway. CD4RP Adopt a Family Toy Giveaway will be held Saturday, December 17th at Red Oak United Methodist Church. The event time is from 10am to Noon. Community Development for Real People is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides food for less fortunate families week. With your help we also give away book bags for students in August impacting education, turkeys at Thanksgiving fighting hunger, and toys at Christmas putting smiles on little faces. Sponsors will be acknowledged on the event banner for the heartwarming community event . We served over 400 kids last year and the need is growing in the pandemic. We are raising money this year with so many families in need and being unable to fulfill all the requests last year. Our biggest challenge is gifts for kids 12-15 years old as most donations are for younger kids. Toys will be accepted up to and during the event time. Please see our Adopt A Family Christmas video to understand the love we share each year with the community and the amazing impact that resulted in tears.
