Nashville, TN, August 14, 2026 —
Local officials and residents in Robertson and Montgomery counties, Tennessee, have expressed a lack of awareness regarding a significant federal contract. A $63 million agreement has reportedly been awarded for the construction of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) call center within the 37010 ZIP code.
The absence of communication from federal authorities on this development has led to concerns among the communities. Residents and local leaders in the rural area are reportedly worried about the potential impact of such a facility on their region. Furthermore, there is apprehension about their ability to provide input on the development project, given the lack of prior notification.
Specific details regarding the contractor awarded the contract, the exact location within the 37010 ZIP code, or the projected timeline for the call center’s construction and operation were not immediately available. The contract value stands at $63 million, a substantial figure for the region. The lack of public disclosure or community engagement from federal agencies has become a focal point for local apprehension.
