Jellico board's vote to sell property went against charter The Jellico Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to sell property at a special-called meeting on Monday night, but the board did not follow the city charter in doing so.

Traxion Materials president Taylor Adkins said Traxion plans to buy county land adjoining the Jellico land.

β€œBecause we’re going to need the space for moving the materials that we’re producing, loading them on the truck, shipping them out,” Adkins said.
