Developers want to buy Tellico Lake land

By Jacques Billeaud · News-Sentinel

In this mention

A developer proposes a $350 million mixed-use development on Tellico Lake near Lenoir City, requiring TVA to sell or lease 853 acres of public land. Stephen Smith, executive director of the Tennessee Valley Energy Reform Coalition, opposes the sale, arguing the land should remain in public use. TVA will hold a public meeting to discuss the proposal and environmental impacts before deciding whether to proceed.

TVA should not be making land available for private developers. That land was taken and condemned years ago for the public good. It stinks to high heaven.
Stephen A. Smith
