Valley Pathways Study Webinar
The Tennessee Valley Authority and University of Tennessee Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs launched the Valley Pathways Study in February 2023 to evaluate the existing environmental landscape and explore opportunities to reduce carbon emissions and create a competitive, sustainable economy. The study brought together 24 participants from multiple sectors, including transportation, agriculture, industry, municipalities, state agencies, academia, and others. Participants shared their perspectives and idea for how we can work together to achieve net-zero emissions for future generations.

TVA Public Forum Meeting
Key Action Alert:
TVA will be holding a public forum meeting on the proposed Cheatham County Gas plant on Tuesday, February 13 at 6 pm at Cheatham Middle School Gymnasium.
https://www.tva.com/about-tva/get-involved-stay-involved
Note, the correct address of the meeting is 700 Scoutview Dr Ashland City, TN 37015
This will be our best opportunity to oppose this new gas plant. The plant will make it difficult for Nashville to meet its climate goals, and will significantly change the rural character of Cheatham County. Please consider attending. We also ask that you defer speaking at the event until local residents have had the opportunity to speak
