Today the Loudon County Highway Department employees celebrated our annual Christmas lunch and presentation of the Hawkeye Award/ Employee of the Year. Juan Gonzalez is a 20+ year veteran of the Highway Department and most deserving of this recognition. Our employees are faithful and hardworking at serving the citizens of Loudon County and are the reason we are so successful.

Lenoir City Utilities Board hosted an open house today for their regional training center. This will be a valuable asset for our region and community. They will be able to train regularly and provide a safe response to any interruption of service. It was great to see LUB and FLEC leadership attend this event also. We all serve our community together.
