This is the third resolution passed by commission requesting TDOT's assistance with the project. In 2005 the commission voted to make the necessary 20% match of the projected $750,000.00 project. Commissioner Wayne Gardin with the help of several residents has collected more than a thousand signatures on petitions supporting the intersection improvements. Matlock will also take the petitions to TDOT with the resolution.

On another matter, commission postponed any action on a request from the City Of Loudon for a payment of $390,000.00 to help pay for a new road into the gated Tennessee National development. Loudon had committed 1.3 million dollars to build the developers a new road so that residents of the development would not have to drive by the landfill to get to their community. Loudon then asked the county to pay 30% of the cost based on an expired resolution from 2001. Commission is seeking legal advice to determine if they have any obligation to the city of Loudon.
