    A recent court hearing for motions to dismiss a Loudon County lawsuit against Lenoir City and two other defendants ended without a ruling, but it’s expected to come before the month’s end.

    The lawsuit argues that the city’s disputed annexations of two unincorporated properties, starting in 2020, didn’t follow state law and weren’t approved by Loudon County Commission as required by a 2005 inter-local agreement between the city and county. The county alleges these actions have stripped its rights to protect its interests.
