  • Google Fiber and Williamson Inc. opened a new Franklin service area on May 27 at The Factory at Franklin, where the project was first launched in January 2025.
  • Fiber lines already reach The Factory and nearby neighborhoods, and Google Fiber said service will spread further across the city later this year.
  • A majority of businesses at The Factory have already signed up, according to Google Fiber, which cited strong early demand and said Honest Coffee Roasters connected multiple locations.
  • Google Fiber said its core plan has stayed at $70 a month since 2012 and will remain at that level for the foreseeable future as it seeks a long-term presence in Franklin.
  • The rollout also includes local outreach: Google Fiber will co-sponsor the Factory Farmers Market this summer with rotating promotions for nearby businesses.
