Paris Public Utility Cancels WTIA Membership

By Chris Taylor

Paris, TN – Paris Public Utility board members voted Tuesday to withdraw its membership in the West Tennessee Industrial Association next summer. Though the organization is credited with helping to recruit industry to the area, the board decided the $23,000 in annual membership costs could be better used locally. TheParis-Post Intelligencer reports the board can choose to rescind its decision any time before its membership expires at the end of June.
