AT&T employees live and work in communities across the Commonwealth. In fact, more than 1,200 AT&T employees call Kentucky home. Every day, we work to keep our neighbors – and the Kentucky communities we call home – connected.

In the last five years, AT&T invested more than $1.2 billion in Kentucky – including nearly $60 million in the Bowling Green area – expanding and enhancing our best-in-class wireless service, and expanding availability of AT&T Fiber, which is now available to more than 480,000 customer locations in more than 110 communities across Kentucky.

We are also working with community organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bowling Green and Connected Nation, helping ensure that our neighbors here in Bowling Green and across the region have the confidence and skills to access opportunities in the digital marketplace.

In addition, we are investing in public safety through FirstNet, Built with AT&T. We have deployed Band14 on more than 1,100 cell sites across Kentucky to provide public safety with truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it; and as a result of our commitment to public safety, agencies and first responders across hundreds of communities in the Commonwealth are subscribed to FirstNet.

AT&T’s Kentucky employees are passionate about our work, and we are proud to call Kentucky home.
