Farragut receives $2.75 million LWCF grant for McPhee property
Summary
Town officials announced that the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation awarded and wired a $2,750,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant for the town's new McPhee property.
Town staff announced at the May 8 Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting that the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has awarded and wired a $2,750,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant to the town for the new McPhee property on McPhee Road.
A town staff member reported the grant award and deposit, saying, “we were informed by TDEC that the $2,750,000 LWCF grant was awarded and wired to our account. So we have $2,750,000 LWCF grant in the house, and that is for the new property at McPhee on McPhee Road.”
The speaker described the funding as one of the fastest turnarounds the town has experienced on a grant request. The meeting did not specify how the funds will be applied to acquisition, development or specific improvements on the McPhee property; no board action was taken during the meeting on the use of the funds.
TDEC administers LWCF grants in Tennessee; Town staff did not provide additional contractual or timeline details at the meeting. The board will likely receive follow‑up staff reports with recommended next steps, permitting requirements and budget updates.
