State Communications Board To Consider Pickett Co. 911 Request

Pickett County continues to move forward with efforts to create a new emergency communications district.

The Tennessee Emergency Communications Board will hold a special-called meeting June 15th to discuss a request from the Pickett County Commission to create a new emergency communications district and to break off from the Overton-Pickett Emergency Communications District.

Pickett County began pushing the split after a state comptroller investigation questioned some 85-thousand dollars in expenses made by the Overton-Pickett Emergency Communications District.

The Friday June 15th meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. in Nashville.
