Commission backs resolution supporting Columbia Dam reconstruction
Summary
The Board unanimously approved a resolution supporting reconstruction of a Columbia Dam on the Duck River to address growing regional water-supply concerns for Marshall and Murray counties; the resolution will be forwarded to TDOT and the state legislature for further approvals.
Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a resolution expressing support for reconstruction of a Columbia Dam on the Duck River, citing regional water-supply needs for Marshall and Murray counties as population growth increases demand.
The chair said the county is "lucky here in Lincoln County that we got Tim's Ford above us and, Elk River running through it," but noted the proposed Duck River dam is intended to support neighboring counties projected to face water shortfalls. The resolution will be forwarded to the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the state legislature as part of the required approval steps.
The motion to approve the resolution passed without opposition; commissioners described the action as a statement of support, not a commitment to construction funding.
