The ElderScholars also promotes free UTC audit programs for those 60 and better.<\/p>\n<p>TVA is a major part of history in East Tennessee. Created 81 years ago as part of the New Deal, TVA was created to improve navigability on the Tennessee River, provide flood control, reforest and improve marginal farm land, assist in industrial and agricultural development, assist in the creation of a government nitrate and phosphorus manufacturing facility, and provide electrical power to rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>It was one of the most ambitious projects of the New Deal in its overall conception. A progressive republican senator from Nebraska, George Norris, is known as the \u201cfather\u201d of TVA. Twice in the 1920s, he sponsored legislation to create the power provider, but the move was vetoed by Republican presidents. However, in 1933 under Democratic control, President Franklin Roosevelt made it part of his New Deal program.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of government-owned power plants selling to publicly owned distribution utilities was controversial and remains so today. Then, as now, however, most people have come to realize that the economic benefits of these arrangements, when properly regulated, are immense. TVA changed the lives of millions of people in the Tennessee Valley and continues as a shining legacy of the New Deal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12891\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-attachment-id=\"12891\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2014\/12\/join-utc-elderscholars-learn-history-tva-january-13\/chattanoogadowntown_105\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/ChattanoogaDowntown_105.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Jaimie Davis&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D300S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1352706928&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ChattanoogaDowntown_105\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Headquarters of Tennessee Valley Authority, Chattanooga&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/ChattanoogaDowntown_105.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-12891 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/ChattanoogaDowntown_105.jpg\" alt=\"Headquarters of Tennessee Valley Authority, Chattanooga\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/ChattanoogaDowntown_105.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/ChattanoogaDowntown_105-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/ChattanoogaDowntown_105-580x773.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/ChattanoogaDowntown_105-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/ChattanoogaDowntown_105-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Headquarters of Tennessee Valley Authority, Chattanooga<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jerry Pala is a retired business manager from Signal Mountain.
