Hickman County volunteer fire department seeks $1.175 million for new station near Centerville
Summary
Senator Roberts presented an amendment requesting $1,175,000 to build a volunteer fire department in the Kabul area of Hickman County, intended to serve growing residential areas west of Nashville that lack infrastructure funding.
Senator Roberts told the Appropriations subcommittee that Hickman County needs a volunteer fire station in the Kabul area, beyond Centerville, to serve an expanding residential population resulting from Nashville-area spillover.
He requested $1,175,000 to build the facility and described the county as having residential growth without corresponding business tax base to fund infrastructure needs. Roberts said the new station would serve areas toward I-40 and regions near Linden, extending coverage for that part of Hickman County.
Committee members recorded no votes on the request during this hearing and asked no follow-up questions in the transcript.
