State pulls halt order on debris cleanup

CLEVELAND, Tenn.-A state board has rescinded its previous letter calling on the company clearing storm debris in Bradley County to “cease and desist.”

The Board of Licensing Contractors, a part of the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, issued its second letter late Friday.

On Thursday, the board had ordered Unified Recovery Group to stop work because it had not obtained a state contractor’s license.

But the board’s second letter noted that the company changed its contract with Bradley County.

“The change order removes portions of the scope of work that constituted contracting,” said Carolyn Lazenby, executive director of the board.
