TWRA's presentation said low-head dams such as Harm's Mill create hazardous hydraulics for people and boats and that the site includes an old powerhouse that has become a risky nuisance. The agency also reported riverbank undercutting that raises concerns about the structure's stability. The dam removal was framed as a safety improvement and an ecological action to restore upstream and downstream passage for fish species and improve habitat on the Elk River.

Agency leadership told the commission they had worked with SBC staff and the state architect's office to remedy the procurement issue and to continue using Griggs & Maloney under an appropriate designer agreement. The agency also said it would task its deputy director and general counsel with ensuring future adherence to SBC policy. The commission approved the retroactive authorization by voice vote with no opposition recorded in the transcript.","The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency received retroactive authorization to continue using Griggs and Maloney Inc. for design on the Harm's Mill dam removal project after staff realized the vendor was used under an existing contract contrary to SBC policy; the commission approved the corrective designer agreement.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636681,"Commission approves Natchez Trace lodge reconstruction; new 49-room inn, pool and event space targeted for Dec. 20, 2027 substantial completion",439,1936000,2375000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2608773-97110d7b63290735c24783458fce5bb1&start=1936&end=2375","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2608773-97110d7b63290735c24783458fce5bb1/thumbnail_1936000.jpg","/articles/6636681/Tennessee/Commission-approves-Natchez-Trace-lodge-reconstruction-new-49-room-inn-pool-and-event-space-targeted-for-Dec-20-2027-substantial-completion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636681-d17af3cc7c578e60aada01d611e4533d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130509&Signature=JqZbJpMPKplVfjMSVHcDswIK5kbzARnGMY6K5UzX0AmETNYMpV4QF-Xzg2ZrH2mUxxHJYjdWDiTZ9CPa-hbq3bKVx9~nAlIdnWDDxWSTDTA1nmpc6vU2E3d-uRZfdGyMGn6Y1zhlPPeuQOO~Hx28fL9lOhshFWL30p60eW9JQFRQjn-BrAA1ZMzOjPmazq2nG75n7kx0-xQjI~vYnL5DAaw0hf6PKFeGcvSUqAEtyGdHnh~eclgFy6AicjKJJUlsR4lcSLtlFNaWVYN9QRPOzWDezoUJH9xHA-LhmxSUtyGnumI8gSTEgsAX3eD5geQxogzalAOwwxUUwfensXkrzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The State Building Commission approved a scope revision and early design phase for a lodge reconstruction at Natchez Trace State Park that will replace the existing inn on Pin Oak Lake with a four-story facility containing 49 guest rooms, a restaurant and bar, and divisible event space.

Department of Environment and Conservation staff and Smith G Studio presented the project, saying the existing lodge closes seasonally and the new design aims to attract visitors year-round by reorienting guest-facing spaces toward lake views. The proposal calls for demolition of the existing facility and construction on the same site, a rotated building footprint to maximize view sheds, and a new pool replacing the pool behind the current lodge. Presenters said full-time staff would be reassigned during construction to avoid layoffs.

Design details presented included a two-story lobby/great room aligned with a primary view, a dining area with seating for about 75 and a bar for about 25, and a double-height event space that, when fully open, would accommodate about 200 attendees. All guest rooms were described as having private balconies or patios with lake views; the amenity terrace would include fire pits, a zero-entry pool and a lake overlook. The team said the new inn would total four stories with a mix of double-queen, king, and king-suite rooms; king and king-suite rooms would connect to double-queen rooms to facilitate group stays.

During questions, the commission recorded a projected substantial completion date of Dec. 20, 2027, and the commission approved the item by voice vote. The presentation indicated the existing facility had 47 rooms and the proposed inn would have 49 rooms.","The State Building Commission approved a revision in scope and early design phase for a reconstructed inn at Natchez Trace State Park, including demolition and replacement of a pool, 49 guest rooms, dining and divisible event space; presenters set a substantial completion projection of Dec. 20, 2027.",{"_33":98,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":99,"_41":88,"_43":100,"_45":101,"_46":102,"_48":103,"_50":104,"_52":105,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":106,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":107,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636686,"State Building Commission approves $98.44 million revision for Fletcher Hall addition at UTC",1560000,1999000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2608773-97110d7b63290735c24783458fce5bb1&start=1560&end=1999","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2608773-97110d7b63290735c24783458fce5bb1/thumbnail_1560000.jpg","/articles/6636686/Tennessee/State-Building-Commission-approves-9844-million-revision-for-Fletcher-Hall-addition-at-UTC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636686-ba4c909a1dbe0aa980ddde7edf4fb170/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130509&Signature=cEIzdwwJ5NUDGVbgGu3wqm4qbIfA3ESx6OT4BKp7iv2rPmq7qzM4-Osmdf~4qSiyfOTmLPxRUQfUVM8vEPsAHrVCMLgcNQIGd4~eatVzJqdo8Srn8Vdf41PQFYfQm-SCWAyguujcK1P2xrrOT1VCYWRXvzgFaI~hy-4cyRQ8QbUU0dThUSeBxqB7ZEOHCfm2UUL98g-SQAR8dlq33wgskZEBjC9LwzUJhEv0-BT5m4k~J4STw5nwwIzY~6Ps6gUgIuV8HwlWdBkjz0xTnx7td7CK43U8SA3lvzMAu8UTqueNPipXOFOZhrkUoRc2GLsUzgqkm1us6ICUc5B6Iv1vhg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The State Building Commission approved a revision in scope and the early design phase for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's Fletcher Hall addition and renovation project during its meeting. The commission approved the project by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The project, as presented to the commission, would double the size of the existing four-story Fletcher Hall with a new four-story addition linked by a bridge across a pedestrian walkway on Oak Street. The university and its design team described the program as primarily instructional space on the first through fourth floors, a two-story atrium/great room for student gatherings and community events, and flexible classrooms and an auditorium on the upper floors. The presentation identified the estimated total project cost as $98,440,000 and a bid target of about $75.4 million; presenters said the project is tracking within that budget.

Architectural presenters said the addition would be tied to the campus's existing material palette (aluminum panels, glazing and aluminum storefront) and that early work had begun to relocate utilities in the area to enable construction. The team reported construction start targeted for this fall with a target occupancy for the 2027 school year.

The University of Tennessee introduced the item; the design presentation was delivered by the project architect. The item was moved and approved by voice vote; no individual vote tallies were recorded in the transcript.

Additional procedural items on the agenda were handled before and after the presentation, including roll call and consent agenda approval.","The State Building Commission approved a scope revision and early design phase for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's Fletcher Hall addition and renovation, increasing instructional and gathering space with an estimated total project cost of $98,440,000 and a bid target near $75.4 million.","actionData","errors"]
