His early moves have already helped stabilize power during winter storms, and the city’s investing in infrastructure upgrades, a new mapping system by 2027, and a new GM (identity pending). All this comes amid a looming federal lawsuit with TVA over an $18 million debt and contract disputes — settlement talks are set to begin soon.
