Enjoy a free ride during KATS’ “Dump the Pump” Day

City News

The Kingsport Area Transit Service (KATS) will offer free rides on all bus routes on June 17 to celebrate National “Dump the Pump” Day.

“Dump The Pump Day” aims to encourage people to use public transportation instead of driving. When the economy is tight and gas prices are high, using public transportation is a great alternative, providing people with an excellent way of saving money.

Many Kingsport residents use public transportation every day to visit family members, run errands, and commute to and from school and work.

“Using public transportation is not only a great way to save money on fuel, but it also provides a way to avoid costly vehicle ownership,” said Transit Director Chris Campbell. “Dump the Pump Day is the perfect time to re-think the way you travel on a daily basis.”

Dump the Pump Day first started in June of 2006, and its purpose has been to present public transportation as a convenient travel option that helps people save money.

For more information about KATS’ services, call 423-224-2613 or visit www.kingsporttransit.org.

City of Kingsport Hires New Police Chief

City News

The City of Kingsport is pleased to announce the hiring of Jason Bellamy as its next Chief of the Kingsport Police Department. Bellamy will succeed Dale Phipps, who retires later this month after nearly 37 years with the City of Kingsport.

Bellamy will become the 16th Chief of Police for the City of Kingsport effective June 29, 2025.

“Jason has served in various leadership capacities, most recently as Deputy Police Chief, where he, along with Chief Phipps, played a key role in advancing department initiatives, fostering strong community relationships, and supporting the growth and development of our officers,” said City Manager Chris McCartt. “As chief, Jason will continue to lead with integrity and a vision for enhancing public safety, strengthening community trust, and supporting a culture of accountability and excellence within the department.”

Bellamy joined the Kingsport Police Department in 1998 and during his tenure has served as a Patrol Officer, Detective, Corporal, Training Sergeant, Watch Commander, Captain of Operations, and Commander. He has also served in several specialized assignments including Honor Guard, Hostage Negotiator, and FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force Officer.

Bellamy was promoted to Deputy Chief in April 2021, and currently serves as second in command, overseeing the day-to-day operation of the department.

“I’ve had the distinct pleasure of serving alongside the wonderful men and women of this department for the past 27 years and I am confident that we are equipped with some of the finest officers the profession has to offer,” Bellamy said. “I look forward to a seamless transition in leadership and I plan to continue to build upon the culture of excellence established by Chief Phipps.”

Raised in Hawkins County, Bellamy has lived in Kingsport since 2012. He and his wife Angie have been married for nearly 27 years and have two adult children. Bellamy holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Education from ETSU and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico and the National Forensic Academy in Knoxville.

Bellamy said it is an honor and privilege to be selected as Kingsport’s next chief of police.

“I am grateful for the opportunity City Manager McCartt has afforded me, and I will work diligently to ensure that we provide the professional police services that our citizens expect and deserve,” Bellamy added.

National Trails Day is an annual event held on the first Saturday in June and is sponsored by the American Hiking Society.

Each year, tens of thousands of hikers, bikers, paddlers, horseback riders, trail clubs, federal and local agencies, land trusts, and businesses come together on National Trails Day to advocate for, maintain, clean up and celebrate trails and nature.

Last year, nearly 800 events were held across the U.S., bringing people together for various recreational and volunteer opportunities. More than 7,000 trail stewards improved 558 miles of trails, contributing approximately $1.27 million in volunteer labor.

You can also share your trail experience by tagging #NationalTrailsDay and @AmericanHiking on your social media channels.

City of Kingsport adopts 2025 Strategic Plan

City News

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen earlier this month adopted its 2025 Strategic Plan for the City of Kingsport – a guiding document for operational and capital investments for the next three to five years.

Kingsport’s Strategic Plan came about through months of work by a professional consulting service, the BMA and leadership team, city staff and the community at large. More than 2,000 people participated in a community survey this past winter, offering their opinion on the city’s focus areas and priorities.

“Our new strategic plan will make sure our goals and objectives are in alignment, and we’ll be able to measure our success based on the investments we make,” said City Manager Chris McCartt. “This plan will help keep us on track with the desires of our citizens, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, and city staff.”

Seven focus areas were identified during the creation of the strategic plan – Efficient & Responsive Government, Sustainable Infrastructure, Exceptional Cultural & Recreational Opportunities, Safe & Welcoming Community, Thriving Local Economy, Strong & Vibrant Neighborhoods and a World-Class Education.

In addition, several noteworthy priorities were singled out within these focus areas, such as downtown revitalization, maintaining our sustainable paving program, providing diverse housing options, and quality recreational opportunities for our residents and visitors.

“Now that the strategic plan has been adopted, I look forward to working with the BMA to accomplish the goals and objectives identified within the plan across all forms of our operations,” McCartt added.

City of Kingsport responds to Rural King fee

City News

The City of Kingsport would like to provide clarification about an economic development fee being imposed on customers at the new Rural King at the Fort Henry Mall.

The City of Kingsport wants the community to know, this economic development fee is NOT a city-mandated fee, the funds DO NOT go to the City of Kingsport and the city played no part in instituting the fee. The decision to impose this fee falls solely on Rural King.

According to signs posted at Rural King, the business is imposing a 1% economic development fee on all purchases, with the funds from the fee going to help pay for the costs of improvements at the Rural King development.

A screenshot of the sign began circulating on social media over the weekend with many people in the community asking questions about the fee.

“We understand there may be some confusion regarding the “economic development fee” being charged at Rural King. This fee is not a part of any economic development project by the City of Kingsport, rather it is a private fee implemented at the discretion of the business,” said Kingsport Economic Development Director Steven Bower. “We have been in communication with Rural King and greatly appreciate their investment but look to them to add clarification regarding their fee.”
