Coffee County Industrial Board approves revised park covenants, removes ban on alcohol and tobacco manufacturers
Summary
The Industrial Board of Coffee County voted unanimously Jan. 21 to approve revised 2026 Park Covenants for the Coffee County Joint Industrial Park that remove a clause prohibiting alcohol and tobacco manufacturers and distributors. The change was presented by the Park Development Committee and approved as a committee recommendation; other routine agenda items were also approved.
The Industrial Board of Coffee County voted unanimously on Jan. 21 to approve revised 2026 Park Covenants for the Coffee County Joint Industrial Park that remove a clause prohibiting alcohol and tobacco manufacturers and distributors, according to the meeting minutes.
The change was presented by the Park Development Committee, which met at its regular time and reviewed updates from the Rogers Group. Committee Chair Huel Goldston reported the committee was introduced to Deputy Fire Marshal Jeremy Woods and said the committee voted to amend the joint-park covenants by removing the prohibition on alcohol and tobacco manufacturers and distributors. On behalf of the committee, Goldston moved to approve the revised 2026 Park Covenants; the minutes record that, as a committee recommendation, no second was required and the board approved the change unanimously.
Why it matters: removing the prohibition broadens the types of businesses that can locate in the Coffee County Joint Industrial Park and could affect future recruitment and zoning considerations. The minutes do not summarize conditions, limits, or any zoning or permitting requirements attached to the covenant change; the record notes only the committee vote and the board’s approval.
The meeting also completed several routine actions. The board unanimously approved the meeting agenda (motion by Greta Dajani; second by Scott Hansert), accepted the December 2025 minutes (motion by Huel Goldston; second by Sherry Douglas) and approved the December 2025 financial summary (motion by Sherry Douglas; second by Cam Newton). The Executive Director’s Report for January 2026 was entered as Attachment 1 and the Tullahoma Area Economic Development Corp. report was entered as Attachment 2; the minutes do not provide detail of those attachments.
Board business and governance items noted by Chairman David Young included keeping committee assignments unchanged for 2026 and distributing Executive Director performance review materials to board members in the coming week.
Votes at a glance: the minutes record the following unanimous board actions during the Jan. 21 meeting: agenda approval; approval of December 2025 minutes; approval of December 2025 financials; approval of revised 2026 Park Covenants removing the alcohol/tobacco prohibition; and adjournment. The minutes list board members and staff present by name and state “Total Attendance: 13 (11 Board & Staff, 2 Guests),” but the record does not include individual vote-by-name tallies.
The meeting was called to order at 4:00 p.m. by Chairman David Young and adjourned at 4:19 p.m.
