JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF) – The Town of Jacksboro voted to not have any additional billboards within the town at last Thursday’s regular monthly meeting. The board voted to replace the guardrail on Liberty Street, because the current guardrail is damaged.

The replacement will cost between $7,000 and $10,000; the work will be done by Lyk-Nu Auto Collison and Service Center.  The final item was approving the purchase of a desktop computer for the fire department.

In police business, the board approved the purchase of a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado for $48,578.60. The board approved declaring a 2015 Dodge Durango and 2007 Jeep Liberty as surplus so they can be sold at the county auction.
