# Roane County Commission Meeting - August 10, 2026

Roane County Commission meeting, August 10, 2026: The county executive reported that Roane County was awarded a $4 million state grant to purchase approximately 120 acres next to the Roane Regional Business and Technology Park. The county and Roane County IDB also pursued TVA and BEST Prep grant funding, though the transcript does not make the outcome clear. Commissioners discussed the progress of major nuclear and industrial projects in the county, but no related procurement action was recorded. A proposed 25-year lease for clinic space was referred to the Property Committee for review; commissioners separately approved temporary occupancy pending further consideration, with the lease expected to return for action in September. No lease amount was stated.

Commissioners also discussed Flock license-plate camera capabilities, privacy safeguards, and the county’s annual subscription, which was described as budgeted; no action was taken. A coffee-machine contract with Novate was discussed in executive session, but the transcript does not report an outcome. The meeting also included approval of minutes and notaries, a proclamation recognizing the retiring county clerk, and a $5,000 donation recipient’s report on distributing 726 pairs of children’s shoes; no new spending action related to that donation was recorded.
