BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. — Governor Bill Haslam stopped in Brownsville Wednesday to announce a grant for more than $700,000 be given to the downtown area of the city. The check from the Tennessee Department of Transportation will be used to replace sidewalks along Main Streer from South Bradford Ave, to North Park Ave., for improved pedestrian safety. Governor Haslam says Brownsville was one of few cities across the state to get these funds. “We thought this was one that really does enhance the quality of downtown Brownsville,” Haslam said. “As a former mayor I’m convinced that the hearts of cities big or small matter.” State representatives say the project will take about five years to complete.
