# 11/9/26 - Bradley County Commission Work Session

Bradley County Commission work session, November 9, 2026. The County Mayor reported on county facility and park projects: the Menace Road fire station is nearing completion, with garage doors delayed; Blue Springs and Mike Smith Park are complete; and work at the fire station is expected to finish around year-end. A commissioner suggested planning for reuse or sale of substantial topsoil expected from the future Urbane Park project. Judge Morgan described courthouse courtroom soundproofing and flooring work underway, with a lobby expansion under consideration and parking improvements dependent on the SPCA’s eventual departure. No project costs, contract awards, vendors, or procurement votes were identified. The Mayor also introduced two resolutions concerning a golf-course property on Dalton Pike and a lot near East Cleveland; they were to be scheduled for future commission consideration, with timing discussed for December.

The main discussion concerned a proposed rezoning from forestry/agriculture/residential to C-2 commercial for a potential Dollar General on Springplace Road. The request was placed on the November 19 voting-session agenda; the Planning Commission had tied 3–3 and made no recommendation. Residents raised traffic and child/school-bus safety concerns, while the project engineer said a sight-distance review had been conducted and TDOT had conceptually approved the driveway location; he said turn-lane warrants were not met but indicated a turn lane could be considered and promised a response before the next session. Commissioners also discussed whether to return the request to the Planning Commission and broader review of subdivision turn-lane requirements. No rezoning vote or procurement action occurred at this work session.
