These improvements will provide lasting benefits for future generations and provide a clean, healthier environment for the citizens of the greater Nashville area. This is a significant undertaking and we are proud to work with MWS on its efforts to ensure local residents realize the full benefit of these rehabilitation projects. We will continue to pursue additional projects that are planned by MWS in an effort to support its program.”
