# Oct 26, 2026 - Washington County TN Commission Meeting - PT. 1

Washington County, Tennessee Commission meeting (Oct. 26, 2026; date in the title) opened with public comment and approved the agenda. The Commission unanimously approved Resolution 26101 to rezone a 19-acre property from R1 to A1, allowing a second residential dwelling. It also approved appointments to the communications and water task forces; the water task force resolution was amended to update member names and add the mayor. The Commission approved a proclamation recognizing November as Family Court Awareness Month and approved the prior meeting’s minutes. The mayor noted that the county’s budget was completed on time, an achievement recognized among 26 of Tennessee’s 95 counties, but no new budget allocation or purchasing action was described.

The main capital-project update concerned a county bridge: 75% of the project is expected to be funded by FEMA, 20% by the state through TEMA, and the remaining 5% is expected to be covered by TDOT. TDOT’s review is delayed pending additional test drilling, and the project has not yet been bid; officials expect bids to be solicited once approvals and specifications are completed. No contract award or final project cost was reported.
