MILLEDGEVILLE

The Milledgeville Board of Aldermen meets at 7:00 p.m. on the second Monday of each month at the Milledgeville City Hall.

Alone among McNairy County’s municipalities, Milledgville’s city limits extend beyond McNairy County, taking in parts of Chester and Hardin Counties. Milledgeville has six aldermen, two from each county, and the mayor of Milledgeville is elected by the voters of all three counties.

Milledgeville’s mayor is Leland Alexander (687-3811), who was elected to another four-year term in May, 2007.

Milledgeville’s aldermen serve four-year terms, which are staggered so that one alderman from each county is up for election every two years. The current aldermen, with the year they come up for reelection, are:

    Jimmy Tuberville (McNairy County)    (687-3718)            2009
    Hershel Hollin (McNairy County)     (687-3120)               2011
    Dorothy Bridges (Chester County)    (688-5149)               2009
    Donnie Johnson (Chester County) (688-5501)               2011
    Tony McMurray (Hardin County) (687-3718)               2009
    Perry Neal Smith (Hardin County) (687-7376)              2011
