Mar 4, 2026 - Washington County TN Commission Meeting

The Washington County Board of Commissioners held a special call session on March 4, 2026, primarily to consider Resolution 260301. This resolution requests that the Tennessee General Assembly members representing Washington County introduce and seek passage of a private act to re-enact provisions of the Regional Retail Tourism Development District Act originally enacted in 2019. The purpose of this act is to enable potential retail development projects in Washington County that could generate significant sales tax revenue, benefiting local schools and the community. Legal counsel explained that this step is a preliminary procedural action and does not bind the county to accept the legislation, which would require a future two-thirds vote. The resolution passed with a two-thirds majority vote. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed during the meeting.
