Edwards to host forum on TVA

Murphy – U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) will convene a public input session to hear from constituents and the Tennessee Valley Authority about the proposed route for a new transmission line through Cherokee County.

“The majority of constituents who have contacted my office – and there have been many – agree that the transmission line is necessary, but are extremely unhappy that the TVA refused to allow traditional public input and comment through an in-person session,” Edwards, who represents District 11, said in a release.

The forum will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23, at the Cherokee County Courthouse.
