White County's County Commission made significant strides during their recent meeting on April 21, 2025, approving multiple resolutions that promise to enhance local infrastructure and community services.

The commission unanimously passed three resolutions, including a crucial general fund amendment of $120,000 aimed at supporting the Upper Cumberland Regional Airport. This funding serves as a grant match and is vital for a collaborative project involving the City of Sparta, White County, the City of Cookeville, and Putnam County. The urgency of this resolution was underscored by its time-sensitive nature, as all four governments must approve it for the project to proceed.

In addition to the airport funding, the commission also authorized a lease agreement with State Parks to establish an office within the Chamber of Commerce building. This agreement will generate $400 monthly for the county, further supporting local economic development initiatives.

The meeting also addressed ongoing business, including inquiries about reimbursements for property purchases on Crossville Highway, which are currently undergoing the state's procurement process.

Overall, the decisions made during this meeting reflect a proactive approach by the County Commission to invest in community infrastructure and services, ensuring that White County remains a competitive and attractive place for residents and businesses alike. As these projects move forward, the commission's commitment to collaboration and timely action will be crucial for their success.
