Gov. Bill Lee has picked Transportation Commissioner Clay Bright to be the first CEO of the newly created Megasite Authority of West Tennessee.

Bright will oversee development of the site where Ford Motor Co. is planning to build a major vehicle assembly plant. Last week, the Tennessee General Assembly approved spending hundreds of millions of dollars both on incentives to Ford and Ford’s partners and on direct infrastructure spending, which Bright will manage as CEO.
