All the commissioners were present last night as the County Commission’s new chairman, Jerry Ford, facilitated the meeting.
The planning committee made the recommendation to sell 1.65 acres to the Cookeville. Electric department for a substation to serve the Highland business Park any amount of $13,906.20. After the motion was made and seconded Commissioner John Williams commented that he had taken a recent tour of the property and noted that work for building a substation had already begun.
County executive Kim Blaylock commented "It's just a matter of changing the deed. Right now the city and county both own it. It just needs to be put into the Cookeville Electric Department's name."
