Kingsport City Residents Who Use Natural Gas Could Be Paying More Soon. The Fee Increase Is One Way The City Can Generate Revenue In An Attempt To Close The Shortfall In Last Year’s City Budget. Current City Manager Jeff Fleming Plans To Present A Proposal For The Gas Fees To The Board Of Mayor And Aldermen To Consider. If Passed, The Average Home Would Be Paying About Two Dollars More A Month. It Would Generate About 250-Thousand In Revenue For The City And Would Be Used For Paving Projects.
