Bill > SJR0315

This resolution honors the reopening of the historic Loudon County Courthouse, which will celebrate its grand reopening on April 26, 2025, after being significantly damaged by a fire on April 23, 2019. The courthouse, originally constructed in 1872 by J. Wesley and Ira Napoleon Clarke for $14,200, suffered over $1 million in damages during the fire, necessitating extensive restoration and renovation. The resolution emphasizes the importance of preserving this historic building, which has served Loudon County's citizens for 147 years, and recognizes the community's commitment to rebuilding the courthouse while maintaining its original structural integrity. The Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives are commending the community and those involved in the restoration project, and they are extending their congratulations on successfully returning this treasured landmark to public service. The resolution also includes a provision for preparing an official copy of the document for presentation, with certain formatting specifications.
