CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The first Town Hall Meeting for the Charter Commission on Consolidated Government will be held December 12 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Northwest High School auditorium.

The Charter Commission would like to hear from the community about what they would like to see in a new unified government charter.

Clarksville City Councilman Deanna McLaughlin and Montgomery County Commissioner Jason Hodges are organizing the event.

“The Charter Commission is currently in the fact-gathering and research phase of writing a new charter. There is a lot of research and education that goes into making informed decisions,” Charter Commission Chairman Katie Gambill said. “Feedback on what the community would like in a unified government charter would be very helpful to the Charter Commission.”

The Charter Commission was formed earlier this year to study the impacts consolidated government would have on the Clarksville-Montgomery County area.
