On Tuesday, January 28th, the Lawrence County Commission convened for its Regular Session meeting, where significant developments took place. In a notable transition, Steve Hagan was elected and subsequently sworn in to take over the District 4 Commissioner position, a role previously held by his late father, Roy Hagan.
The meeting also addressed several key initiatives aimed at enhancing community services and infrastructure. Among the decisions made was the approval of an additional 24-hour ambulance shift, which is expected to improve emergency medical response times in the area. Furthermore, the commission approved the engagement of a new medical billing service for the Emergency Medical Services (EMS), which aims to streamline billing processes and enhance financial efficiency.
In addition to these measures, the commission allocated $100,000 to the City of Loretto for essential repairs to the sewer plant, a project that will benefit the Loretto Industrial Park and support local economic development. The meeting concluded with the approval of the 2025 County Road Plan, which outlines future road maintenance and development projects.
All items on the agenda were thoroughly discussed and received affirmative votes from the commission members. For those interested in a comprehensive list of the agenda items and their outcomes, further details can be found at lawrencecountytn.gov/regular-session-january.
