Roane County News Article

TVA was not the source of the article, “Out of the Ashes,” appearing in the Roane County News Friday, July 13. Of course, we would always prefer to notify the CAG if an article related to the recovery project is on its way; however, we were not asked to comment or given any indication an article was about to be published.

As you know, we have been working with the Roane County Parks & Recreation Committee as they design the ball field area. TVA will construct the bare ball fields, but all infrastructure, improvements, and maintenance will be the responsibility of Roane County. We will retain ownership of the property, while allowing Roane County to use the area under a licensing agreement.

The image included in the paper was a conceptual drawing we provided Roane County Parks and Recreation to facilitate their feedback on design of the ball fields area, so it is not final. We are unaware of the specific source of the article, but it was not released by TVA. As you know, our plan is to share where we are currently with you soon.
