Economic Development Grant Proposal for the Bristol South Site

Sullivan County, TN

On May 12, 2026, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) published an environmental assessment (EA) and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for a proposed economic development grant through TVA InvestPrep funds to the Bristol Tennessee Essential Services, to assist with the development of the Bristol South Site in Sullivan County, Tennessee. TVA funds would be matched with non-TVA funds and used to assist with tree clearing, grading, sinkhole remediation, and berming/buffering of the site. Following the site improvements, the disturbed areas would be stabilized with seed and mulch. The area of TVA’s Proposed Action encompasses 60 acres of mostly open grassy land with some small, forested areas around the perimeter, in Bristol, Tennessee.
