Nashville's Town Council held an emergency meeting Tuesday to notify the public that the $2.3 million had been appropriated by the USDA for a new town hall and library complex. Though not finalized, the project will have the town hall moving into Joyner's Grocery and the library locating in Nashville Plaza.

Why is USDA loaning money for new facilities?
A few days ago, I read that the town of Nashville had re-applied for USDA funds. These funds are to be used for a new library and town hall.

Securing the U.S. borders and ports should be a top priority of the White House and Congress. We're losing our sovereignty as we lose control of our borders. More ...
