Jackson County Commission approved $1 million dollars from the American Rescue Plan funds for the City of Ripley’s wastewater plant construction project.
At the Feb. 2 Jackson County Commission meeting, the first reading of the bond ordinance to fund the proposed new animal shelter took place.
The ordinance requires one more reading and a public hearing.
County commissioners, at a special meeting on Jan. 31, voted unanimously to earmark $1 million to the Roane County Development Authority which is spearheading the project.
