Maybe you've noticed a new TVA presence in downtown Huntsville in recent days.

The public utility that provides electricity to parts of seven states, including north Alabama, has relocated its Huntsville office to downtown in recent weeks.

Previously, TVA had offices on Corporate Drive off Wynn Drive in Cummings Research Park.

Those offices have now shifted east to Civic Plaza at 307 Clinton Avenue.

"The new downtown location allows improved access and service to our customers while reducing costs," TVA spokesman Scott Fiedler said. "About 15 to 18 employees will work out of the 4,260 sq ft. location."

Specifically, Fiedler said customer service, Energy Rights Solutions, economic development and government relations will work out of the office as well as providing workspace for out-of-town executives.

The five-story building isn't exclusively TVA's as a variety of businesses continue to occupy space in the glass building.
