South Limestone plan seeks federal growth region status
TARCOG submitted an application to the Economic Development Administration to designate the Athens to Huntsville corridor as a secondary growth region. The move would unlock federal planning grants for water and sewer systems and industrial park planning in the Athens Tanner district, with approval expected after months of review. The region spans about 20 percent of Limestone County and includes sites along the Tennessee River and near the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
