July 22, 2019

NASHVILLE, Tenn.–State Senator Mark Pody (R-Lebanon) invites the citizens of Smith County to attend a community gathering on Thursday, July 25, 2019, where they can meet the TN Department of Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher and the TN Department of Tourism Commissioner Mark Ezell.

Local leaders and engaged citizens are invited to participate and learn about opportunities and programs for their county administered by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Tourism. Also in attendance will be Representative Teri Lynn Weaver (R-Lancaster).

“The Department of Agriculture is the number one revenue generator out of all state agencies, and the Department of Tourism is number two,” said Senator Pody. “I think it is very important for rural counties to build relationships with these two departments, so I invited the commissioners to Smith County to initiate those relationships and ensure the county is taking advantage of all the state has to offer from the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Tourism.”

Both Commissioner Hatcher and Commissioner Ezell are newly appointed to their positions by Governor Bill Lee.

The event will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Smith County Ag Center (159 Ag Center Lane; Carthage, TN).

“This will be a great opportunity for Smith County residents to get to know these commissioners as well as interact with local leaders and elected officials,” added Pody.
