Williamson County Mayor Rogers Anderson will lead a conversation on broadband access and expansion in Williamson County during the Oct. 25, 2022, Franklin Tomorrow Breakfast With the Mayors, presented by Pinnacle Financial Partners.

Joining Anderson will be William Bradford, CEO and President of United Communications, and Chris Jones, President of Middle Tennessee Electric.

In 2021, United Communications was honored for its role in bringing internet access to Middle Tennesseans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the pandemic took hold, United found innovative ways to accelerate fiber installation throughout the area. Through its initiative, Project UNITE, United leveraged community partnerships, federal and state funding, and its own investments to ensure its mission of connecting Middle Tennessee moved as quickly as possible.

By the end of 2021, United had provided high-speed connectivity to over 11,000 unserved locations in Middle Tennessee.

Joining Pinnacle Financial Partners in presenting Breakfast With the Mayors are Gresham Smith, Williamson County Association of Realtors, Hazen and Sawyer, Patterson Hardee Ballentine CPAs. The program will begin at 7:45 a.m. and will also be broadcast live on Franklin Tomorrow’s website and Facebook pages.
