The purpose of this grant is to support Cleveland County in constructing public infrastructure, fiber optic cable to the T5 Data Center Park. The County is pursuing several data centers that are considering locating in the Park. The fiber optic cable is necessary to allow these high bandwidth users to locate at the Park. Golden LEAF funds will be used to install cable on public property or right of way outside of the Park. Average wages for the companies considering the park are $80,000/year, plus benefits.
