New Kingsport Bridge will connect Brickyard Park to downtown

The City of Kingsport is getting a major boost to help connect Brickyard Park to downtown. Federal officials have awarded the city 5.6 million dollars to build a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the CSX railroad tracks. The bridge will link Brickyard Park directly to Centennial Park downtown. Local transportation officials say the project will give walkers and cyclists a much safer way to cross the tracks, while hopefully bringing more foot traffic to downtown shops and restaurants. As part of the deal with CSX, the existing street-level vehicle crossing will be permanently closed once the bridge is built. Kingsport will pitch in 1.4 million dollars to match the federal grant, adding to 2.6 million already secured from the state. Design work is finished, and construction is expected to kick off in 2027.

Rogersville passes ordinance tightly regulating data centers

A contentious issue involving regulation of datacenters in Rogersville was resolved at the Tuesday, Nov. 10 meeting with no consensus, but also without further controversy. In October, the Rogersville Planning Commission and legal advisors drew up a draft ordinance that, while not outright banning what it described as “high-density data centers” within the town limits, places so many regulations and restrictions on them that it would be very difficult to locate one in the town. Mayor John Metz openly supported the ordinance, feeling that it would protect the town from any such establishments and their potential side effects, such as high use of town electric and water resources, and noise pollution. However, since it is not a blanket ban, it will be very difficult for a data center or crypto mining business, either of which would fall in the scope of the ordinance, from mounting a legal challenge. There are many more avenues to challenge a complete ban than tight regulation. Metz also stated last month that at under the existing zoning regulations, Rogersville had no way to keep these businesses out. The ordinance passed its first reading last month by a 4-2 vote. Alderman Todd Biggs still expressed concern
