WINCHESTER, Tenn. — The Franklin County Commission unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the County Mayor to execute a covenant of use, purpose and ownership required by the U.S. Economic Development Administration for the Tennessee College of Applied Technology — Franklin County campus.

Commissioner Gene Snead moved to authorize the covenant and Commissioner Greg King seconded. The motion passed 15–0 by roll‑call vote, and the minutes record the resolution (7c‑0719SC) and a County Clerk certificate showing the resolution was filed in the commission minute book.
