Senate Resolution 1, sponsored by Lamar, commemorates the ninetieth anniversary of the partnership between the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW). Established in 1933, TVA has played a crucial role in providing electricity, fostering economic development, and promoting environmental stewardship in the Tennessee Valley region, including Memphis. MLGW, founded in 1939, has become TVA's largest local power company partner, working together to deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy to the community. This partnership has significantly contributed to Memphis's growth and development, enhancing the quality of life for its residents through various initiatives focused on workforce development and energy efficiency.

The resolution expresses gratitude for the enduring collaboration between TVA and MLGW, highlighting its resilience and innovation as a model for public-private partnerships. It encourages citizens to celebrate this historic milestone and acknowledges the critical role the partnership has played in empowering the Memphis and Shelby County community, ensuring a sustainable future. The resolution concludes with a directive for an appropriate copy to be prepared for presentation.
