The designation for Nashville’s natural gas system is being honored by in conjunction with the City of Tifton Natural Gas.

added miles of natural gas lines to meet the needs of agricultural customers throughout Berrien County The announcement was shared with Nashville and Tifton at the Municipal Gas Authority Annual Membership Meeting on May 15, 2012 in St. Simons.

service for each municipal member. The Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia was based on joint action to bring affordable, reliable and safe natural gas to municipalities. The Cities of Nashville and Tifton are perfect illustrations for the model of joint action on this project.
