City of Crossville ‘Not Interested’ in merger with West Cumberland

The City of Crossville has decided not to pursue a merger with the West Cumberland Utility District. During Tuesday’s work session, Finance Director Nathan Clouse presented data suggesting the move could lower rates and assist district employees, though specific figures were not yet finalized. With the City Council showing no interest in the plan, Mayor RJ Crawford directed staff to issue a formal refusal rather than spending further resources on analysis.
