EAST CENTER STREET STUDY (2021 Urban Transportation Planning Grant)

In the Summer of 2021, the City of Kingsport launched Center Stage, a planning and visioning initiative for East Center Street from Fort Henry Drive to East Sullivan Street. Over the next several months, the consultant gathered data, walked the corridor, and offered many opportunities for public input throughout the entire process. The plan is a partnership with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) to improve East Center Street for people and motor vehicles and to set the stage for revitalization and reinvestment in the corridor. The Kingsport Board of Mayor and Aldermen endorsed the Final Report at their March 8, 2022 meeting.

The Final Report and all related material is available for viewing at https://engagekh.com/centerstage
