City council approves requests for possible hotel development, other business

Maryville could see construction begin on two new hotels in the coming year. On Nov. 3, the Maryville City Council authorized City Manager Greg McClain to begin negotiations with BCP Properties LLC for commercial development of a portion of the Laurel Branch Park subdivision. According to staff notes, BCP submitted the only proposal to develop the northern portion of an unused parcel of city-owned land at the southwest intersection of Robert C. Jackson Drive and Big Springs Road. The proposal calls for construction of a 126-room extended-stay hotel on approximately 8 acres closest to the intersection. The northern portion of the Laurel Branch Park parcel became available for commercial development in October after the City Council approved final readings of two zoning and land-use ordinances separating it from approximately 3 acres to the south, where the city plans to build a future Maryville Fire Station 4. Design and construction of the new fire station are expected to begin in 2029 and take approximately two years. No final contract had been awarded to BCP or another developer as of publication. Maryville Development Services Director Angie Luckie could not confirm whether BCP was related to Bluedog Capital Partners LLC, a Rhode Island-based

Ex-Tennessee Vols assistant Joe Osovet breaks silence on allegations behind firing

Former Heritage High School (Maryville, TN) head football coach and Tennessee Volunteers tight end coach Joe Osovet is breaking his silence after being fired from his position at the Blount County school on Oct. 20. A report received by the Heritage High School administration stated that Osovet had attempted to influence the team's athletic trainers to circumvent the concussion protocol during a game against Carter on Sept. 25. A week later, Osovet was placed on administrative leave. According to a release from Blount County schools director Justin Ridge on Nov. 6, an investigation had determined that Osovet had "engaged in unprofessional conduct and insubordination, including actions inconsistent with the district's expectations for protecting student-health and safety". Osovet, who had remained fairly quiet throughout the process, finally took to social media to state his side of things on Nov. 6 "I firmly dispute these accusations and the characterization of my actions throughout this investigation," Osovet posted to his Facebook . "In my 36 years of coaching, I have never interfered with a physician's diagnosis or acted against established concussion protocols ― the safety and well-being of my players have always come first. "My time to speak will come, and when it
