Summary
County Mayor Kerry McCarver said a $2 million public–private grant from TDOT and Ingram Barge will support construction of a river port at the Cheatham County Industrial Park; county staff will work on the state-grant contract and next steps.
During the May 19 meeting Cheatham County Mayor Kerry McCarver reported that county officials held a ceremony announcing a $2 million grant tied to a public–private partnership with the Tennessee Department of Transportation and Ingram Barge to construct a river port at the Cheatham County Industrial Park.
McCarver characterized the award as a public–private partnership and said plans to construct the river port are advancing. County Attorney Michael Bligh told the body he would prepare contract documents related to the state grant and invited questions; Bligh also said he was looking into camper zoning ahead of an upcoming July workshop at the chairman's request.
The meeting record lists the mayor's remarks in the packet and identifies the grant announcement as a county economic-development initiative. County staff and legal counsel will complete contract work and return with finalized documents and implementation timelines for future meetings.
