The fifth Bull Run community meeting that had been scheduled for tonight (Thursday, February 6) has been canceled because Claxton Elementary School is closed due to flooding.

The meeting had earlier been scheduled for Thursday, January 30, but that meeting was postponed one week (to today, February 6) because of illnesses that led to the two-day closure of Anderson County Schools.

There are other meetings scheduled. The fourth Tennessee Valley Authority Bull Run Community Action Group meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, February 13, in Oak Ridge. Hosted by TVA, the meeting will be in the Multipurpose Room in the Oak Ridge Central Services Complex on Woodbury Lane.

On Tuesday, February 18, the Anderson County Commission will have a public hearing to discuss a TVA request to build a 60-acre landfill on the Bull Run Fossil Plant site in Claxton. That hearing is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. in Room 312 of the Anderson County Courthouse at 100 North Main Street in Clinton. (See previous story here for more information.)
