(2) Awardees will be required to file a regular report on the impact and performance of the funded project, in a format and timeline prescribed by the OneGeorgia Authority.
(3) The OneGeorgia Authority reserves the right to utilize up to fifteen percent (15%) of available funding for innovative broadband projects. These funds will not be subjected to the same scoring process but must instead demonstrate a high level of innovation and/or public benefit as determined by the review panel.
(4) The OneGeorgia Authority or its Agent may approve an award subject to certain general or special conditions that will be incorporated into the grant award document.

Applicants will have thirty (30) days from the date of award to accept the award and conditions and/or the reduced award amount. If the applicant fails to accept the award and conditions or lower award amount within the required period, the OneGeorgia Authority and/or the Agent with OneGeorgia Authority approval may unilaterally withdraw the award.
