The long-awaited installation of new lighting along the Highway 6 East entrance into Batesville began last Thursday as TVEPA workers erected the new light poles in the median. TVEPA employees (from left) Royce Williams, Justin Palmertree and Adam Boyle secure the pole while onlookers include former City Clerk Judy Savage, MDOT District Engineer Richard Allen, Mayor Jerry Autrey, TVEPA employee Randy Wardlaw and Alderman Stan Harrison.
