HUNTINGDON (August 13) — Chronic flooding along Crooked Creek in the State Route 22 area will be addressed soon by two agencies.
Huntingdon Mayor Dale Kelley announced to the Huntingdon Town Council an effort by the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the West Tennessee River Basin would clear the clogged river channel. TDOT will provide the necessary funding for the WTRB project. For decades, State Route 22 has flooded, in part, because the river channel is obstructed by the downed trees and earthen encumbrances along the river.
In other business, the Council amended an ordinance that addresses a residency requirement to obtain package liquor licenses. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the residency requirement is unconstitutional.
