TVA awards Wilson County Water Group pilot program

 

 

 Saving money while providing better resources

 

 

 The Wilson County Water Group (WCW a cooperative) has been awarded the pilot program for the Community Quality Growth Workshop Series from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Southeast Watershed Forum.

 

 

Stormwater officials from Lebanon, Mt. Juliet and Wilson County, along with planners and GIS mapping specialists from each agency and other public and private partners within the area, will be working with experts from TVA and the Watershed Form to develop and implement a pilot program expected to be the cutting edge protocol for smart growth and planning throughout the entire region in the future.

 

 

WCW non-profit partners like Cumberland River Compact and Cumberland Region Tomorrow will work all together with TVA experts to incorporate existing plans for transportation, parks/recreation, conservation and development and produce a long term growth plan for the entire county.

 

 

Such a plan would reduce the costs and complexities of development and maintenance alike for the participating governments while providing for more and better resources and services to Wilson County residents.
