THANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF SOME CIVIC-MINDED CITIZENS TO THE TUNE OF CONTRIBUTIONS OF NEARLY 100-THOUSAND DOLLARS, KINGSPORT IS REAPING THE BENEFITS AT ITS RIVERVIEW SPLASH PAD PROJECT. ACCORDING TO MAYOR DENNIS PHILLIPS, THE KINGSPORT ROTARY CLUB AND EASTMAN CHEMICAL DONATED THREE NEW SHELTERS AND ACCOMPANYING PICNIC TABLES, GRILLS, AND BENCHES. IN ADDITION, THE BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN VOTED TO ACCEPT A SEPARATE $47,645 DONATION FROM THE K-PLAY SPORTS COUNCIL.
