RINGGOLD, Ga. – Tiger Creek Elementary School will get sewer service and a Shaw Industries Inc. plant will have an inducement to stay open under a pending agreement to extend sewer lines to exit 345 on Interstate 75.

Catoosa County plans to use $5 million from its special purpose local option sales tax to extend sewer lines more than three miles from Christian Road along the west side of I-75 to south of U.S. Highway 41.

The County Commission approved its part of the agreement Tuesday.

The new line will serve the Shaw flooring plant at 388 Armstrong Road, which now is on a septic system. The county has promised to extend sewer service to Shaw as an incentive to keep the factory open.

Because sewer service is coming in that direction, the Catoosa County Board of Education asked for the line to be extended to Tiger Creek Elementary, which will require drilling east underneath Highway 41 and Tiger Creek.
