ATLANTA — Four South Georgia counties will receive nearly $15 million in preliminary grant awards for broadband internet expansion, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Monday.

The federal pandemic relief funds are coming through the second round of a grant program aimed at improving connectivity for homes and businesses in underserved areas. The much larger first round of grants sent $234 million last January to broadband projects in 28 Georgia counties.
