The Lawrenceburg City Council met Thursday morning, February 12, 2026, at City Hall for its regular session, covering routine city business, personnel announcements, financial reports and several resolutions tied to future development and infrastructure planning.

The meeting began at 9:00 a.m. with roll call, prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Council members approved the minutes from the January 22, 2026 meeting and opened the floor to public comments from residents and visitors in attendance.

During the mayor’s announcements, the city recognized longtime employee Linda Adair with a retirement award presentation. Following the recognition, officials announced Justin Rouse as the new Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation. City leaders also reminded residents that city offices will be closed Monday, February 16, in observance of Presidents Day.

Financial matters were also reviewed, including Lawrenceburg Utility System financials for December 2025. The council additionally heard updates from the city administrator and department managers and addressed legal matters presented by City Attorney Alan Betz.

A major portion of the meeting focused on planning and development. Council members considered a resolution to adopt the city’s Future Land Use Plan and Major Thoroughfare Plan. The plans would become official city policy and guide decisions involving zoning, land use, subdivision development and transportation planning as Lawrenceburg continues to grow.

Council members also discussed redevelopment efforts involving the Pettus-McClain buildings located along Highway 43 North. Under the proposal, the Lawrence County Economic Development Corporation would donate the buildings to the city in exchange for their complete removal from the property, a move intended to prepare the site for future economic development opportunities.

Public safety funding was another topic of discussion. The council approved allowing the Lawrenceburg Fire Department to apply for a State of Tennessee Rescue Squad 2026 grant to purchase stabilization equipment for emergency response.

In addition, the council authorized the city to apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) not to exceed $1 million. The grant program is designed to help municipalities fund community improvements and infrastructure projects.

Following other announcements and routine business, the meeting adjourned. City officials are expected to continue discussions on development and funding opportunities in upcoming meetings as Lawrenceburg plans for future growth and infrastructure improvements.
