About broadband in Central
Central is in East Baton Rouge Parish, which charges franchise fees on broadband, and a Louisiana law bars cities and parishes that levy those fees from receiving GUMBO broadband grant money, blocking that funding in the parish. Separately, AT&T added a new 5G cell site in Central in August 2024 to boost coverage along Joor Road and Zuber Lane.
