Kingsport featured in AARP article for being a Resident-Friendly City
Kingsport – The City of Kingsport has recently been featured in an AARP Bulletin Today article that praises the city for being a Resident-Friendly City.‚ Due to Downtown Redevelopment and the new additions of public art, known as the Sculpture Walk, retirees are buying new downtown loft spaces where they can live, dine and shop‚¬â€all within walking distance.
The article promotes the importance of walking and routine exercise for elderly people and recognizes that the Sculpture Walk and Greenbelt are perfect for those who need to get out and roam for exercise.‚ The article also emphasizes the city’s insight for mandating that all new residential neighborhoods have a sidewalk and how the sidewalks are beneficial to everyone.
The Greenbelt and the Sculpture Walk have both been created for the residents of Kingsport and are great examples for other cities looking to make themselves more resident-friendly.‚ The city has put a lot of time, effort and money into the Downtown Redevelopment project and the benefits are becoming more and more clear every day.‚ The new sidewalks and the new lofts are perfect for those who are no longer able to drive and need to be in walking distance of vital downtown areas.
