United States Senator Bill Hagerty was in Lexington on Thursday, April 8, 2021 for a special meeting with West Tennessee leadership in a roundtable discussion. They met at the Watson Center at noon, and gave The Lexington Progress the exclusive to cover the meeting.
Henderson County Mayor Eddie Bray, Sheriff Brian Duke, County Commissioner Shana Duke and EMA Director Drew Cook were all present representing Henderson County. Some of the surrounding faces were also familiar, such as Madison County Mayor Jimmy Harris, Decatur County Mayor Mike Creasy and Sheriff Bird, Carroll County Mayor Joseph Butler, and Mike Smith, Director of Southwest Human Resource Agency.

The HDC's role is merely to give conceptual review (the City Planning Commission has already given its approval). Yet every commission member and witnesses spoke out against the dormitories. Beyond the issue of impacted empty lots on Power Street, the meeting was essentially a gripe session about Brown's imperiousness and lack of transparency.
Complaints centered mostly on the questions of scale, and the inappropriateness of such a massive block (five stories and 80,000 square feet) in an older streetscape. Councilman John Goncalves called the dorms "not aesthetically or functionally in tune with the neighborhood." Local resident Lily Bogosian bemoaned that the new buildings will "be a dark shadow in our lives."

When a door, cabinet, or just about any other wooden fixture on campus needs replacement or repair, the craftsmen in Yale’s millwork shop stand ready to help. But as the university prepared to welcome back students this fall amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the millwork team shifted its focus from wood to plastic in order to help minimize the spread of the virus.
And they’ve been at it since.
The shop’s five-member team has produced and installed hundreds of plastic partitions of varying shapes and sizes on desks, tables, and workspaces in more than 80 locations across campus, including in classrooms and all of the residential-college dining halls. They also played a crucial role in the university’s successful COVID-19 testing program by designing, building, and maintaining more than 70 fully enclosed self-testing pods, which were used all semester by students, faculty, and staff.
