Montgomery County Mayor Carolyn Bowers speaks at the 106th Annual Lone Oak Picnic

Election 2014Cunningham, TN – Montgomery County Mayor Carolyn Bowers was at the 106th Annual Lone Oak Picnic held by the Central Civitan Club on Saturday, July 27th, 2014 talking to those in attendance.

“We have seen more jobs come to Montgomery County. 4,500 new jobs at the Industrial Park alone. We’ve seen 2.9 billion dollars invested in our community just in the Industrial Parks. Working on bringing good high paying jobs has been a high priority,” Bowers stated.

“Our county has invested over 200 million dollars in the last eight years in building new schools because of the increase in population. If that’s called frivolous spending then so be it,” Bowers said. “But you have to invest in your community if you want it to progress forward. I am a firm believer in doing whats right for the everyday citizens of Montgomery County.”
