Residents tell Cheatham County commission they oppose proposed TVA plant
Summary
During the Jan. 27 public forum several Cheatham County residents spoke in opposition to a proposed TVA plant. Speakers raised local concerns but the minutes record no formal response from county officials at this meeting.
At the Jan. 27 Cheatham County Legislative Body meeting, multiple residents used the public-comment period to register opposition to a proposed Tennessee Valley Authority project.
Chairman Tim Williamson opened the public forum at 6:01 p.m. Speakers listed in the minutes include Nanette Malher (4th District), Tracy Oliver (2nd District), Steve Denny (2nd District), Larry Cohoon (2nd District), Tim Barnes (4th District) and Tracy O'Neill (4th District). The minutes record that each “spoke in opposition of the proposed TVA plant,” but do not record direct quotes or a county response during the forum segment.
The meeting minutes show the public forum closed at 6:16 p.m.; no immediate action or motion responding to the comments is recorded in the subsequent agenda items. The commission proceeded to roll call and regular business after the forum.
County officials and staff referenced elsewhere in the packet — including budget and administrative items — are recorded in the minutes, but the transcript does not show further county direction or a formal reply to the citizens who spoke on the TVA item during this meeting.
The minutes form the official record for public comment in this session; for further detail about the plant proposal or any pending county-level process related to the project, residents should consult county staff or the project proponent's notices.
