Alan Palmieri’s Jefferson County Mayoral Address

Jefferson County Mayor Alan Palmieri addressed questions about issues that are currently impacting JeffersonCounty, in his second Jefferson County Post address. The Post regularly receives questions from readers, which the editor compiled and presented to Mayor Palmieri directly before the interview. The Mayor addressed the issue of the Megasite, including his position on the upcoming funding request, the likelihood that jobs will go to JeffersonCounty residents and dry funding avenues that may be impacting to the project. In addition, Mayor Palmieri discussed recent proposed action at the State level that may inhibit Carson-Newman’s Cadaver Research Project (Body Farm) which is the subject of a recent law suit filed against JeffersonCounty. None of the questions were vetted by the Mayor preceding the taping of the video.
