Kingsport Leaders Are Having To Scale Back The Proposed Outdoor Venue On The Former General Shale Property. The Plan Was To Build An Outdoor Stage And Seating Area Across From Brickyard Park To Use For Concerts, Festivals And Special Events. Restrooms And A Permanent Stage Have Been Removed From The List Of Items To Be Included For Now And Can Be Added In The Future. This Would Make The Total Cost For The Venue And The Road, Five Million Dollars. Design Is Expected To Begin This Fall.
