DUNLAP, Tenn. – Sequatchie County is adding a County Commission district and changing voting precincts as a result of redistricting, officials said.
The move restores the 9th District that existed a decade ago before two Dunlap-area districts were combined into one during 2000, Administrator of Elections Linda Tate said.
The new districts won’t affect the County Commission until 2014, but school board members in the odd-numbered districts, including the new 9th, will be up for election in August.
Redistricting forced officials to consider population growth in the Fredonia and Cagle mountaintop communities on either side of state Highway 111.
