Bedford Railroad Authority approves FY25 financial report and authorizes letter to legislators seeking short‑line funding
Summary
The Bedford Railroad Authority approved its FY25 financial report and authorized a director-drafted letter to state legislators requesting funding for the short-line railroad; the authority also recorded no updates on pending lawsuits.
The Bedford Railroad Authority approved its fiscal year 2025 financial report and authorized a letter to legislators requesting funding for the short-line railroad.
At the meeting of the authority, Bailey Little presented the financial statement covering July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2025, and said she had provided audit material to state auditor Andrea Lucado of TDOT’s external audit. Little thanked “Kevin and Byron” for their help and moved to approve the report; the minutes state the report “was approved as submitted.”
Director Patrick Conyers brought forward a draft letter to state legislators seeking funding for the short-line railroad and said he had included authority voting members’ names on the draft, offering to remove any name on request. The minutes record that the letter was approved. Conyers also reported there was no new information on pending lawsuits.
The minutes do not record a roll-call vote or tally for either approval. The financial report specifies the covered period but does not itemize funding sources in the minutes; the record also does not specify which legislative funding programs are being requested. The minutes identify Andrea Lucado as the TDOT external auditor and note assistance from “Kevin” (last name not given) and Byron Clinton.
