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 was created to provide electricity generation and promote economic development in the Tennessee Valley region, including Memphis. MLGW, founded in 1939, became TVA's largest local power partner, working together to deliver reliable and affordable energy to the community. Over the past ninety years, this collaboration has significantly contributed to Memphis's growth and development, enhancing the quality of life for its residents through initiatives focused on workforce development, energy efficiency, and community enrichment.

The resolution expresses gratitude for the enduring partnership between TVA and MLGW, highlighting its role as a model for public-private collaboration that has adapted to the region's evolving energy needs. It encourages citizens to celebrate this historic milestone and acknowledges the critical impact the partnership has had on empowering the Memphis and Shelby County community, ensuring a sustainable future for its residents.
