ISSUE 17 VOLUME 32 FARRAGUT, TENNESSEE THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 2020 • 1A 2nd Millennial decade Reviewing the 2010s in Farragut — yet looking ahead

ur just-completed decade featured a super-rare total eclipse, an introduction to red-light cameras, a special missing monument suddenly found years later, TownO term-limits, a really big Costco sales tax boost, a $1.1 million Town debt coming out of seemingly nowhere, a no-quit football state champ and the heartbreak of high school suicides. And so much more.
