WR Concrete: Quality Concrete Work

Kevin Bucher and his family moved to the Poor Valley community of Hawkins County a little over a year ago. He opened WR Concrete in January. Kevin spent his early childhood in Harrisburg, Virginia. His family moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania when he was in middle school. Kevin recalled “I started working really young, helping my dad and grandpa. I did concrete jobs in Pennsylvania and I’ve been in construction for about nine years.” His journey to Tennessee came from a higher power. “God called us here! I always wanted to move back south, to the Appalachian Mountains. We started watching the Bridge Church services online. Three months later, we were here!” Last year, Kevin, his wife Emily and their three children (ages 13, 9, and 3) made their move to Hawkins County. Kevin explained that people began asking him about finishing concrete. He added “I always wanted to work for myself. I like working with concrete because I can take something that doesn’t exist and finish it by the end of the day. It’s fulfilling!” No two jobs are the same. Some projects that WR Concrete does include sidewalks, foundations, floors, house slabs, concrete countertops, and stamped concrete. Kevin is

Eastern Kentucky welcomes data centers in hopes they make up for coal losses

In eastern Kentucky, though, some communities are actively pursuing them, or at least they're open to them.

NETN customers of Appalachian Power will see increase on power bills

Appalachian Power customers in Northeast Tennessee will notice a jump in their electricity bills starting this month. Utility officials recently notified residents across Sullivan, Hawkins, and Washington counties of a preliminary 10.4% rate hike. The extra charge will appear on statements as a “rider,” which is a separate line item used to cover the actual costs of fuel used to generate power over the past year. Company spokesperson Karen Wissing emphasized that this adjustment is strictly to cover deferred fuel expenses and generates zero profit for Appalachian Power. State regulators have given the increase preliminary approval, and the utility expects it to remain in place following a final review. Customers facing financial difficulty or trouble paying their bills are encouraged to visit the company’s website to explore available payment options and assistance programs.

What’s New & What’s Next Downtown, Part 1: Restaurants & Retail

Downtown Knoxville has been keeping busy, and I’ve got a massive backlog of openings, announcements and developments to prove it. Time for a catch-up! Last week I again joined Compass Knox editor Scott Barker and co-founder Jesse Fox Mayshark on their Compass Points podcast to nerd out on all things downtown-ish. Naturally, I showed up with 10 FULL PAGES of notes about stuff happening in downtown proper alone. Since both hosts and producer Seth Barber failed to clear their next six hours for my monologue, I crammed what I could into a rapid-fire spoken word performance, confirming once and for all that I should stick to journalism.

Centrus ships first American made centrifuge from Oak Ridge to Ohio

The staff at Centrus Technology and Manufacturing Center at 400 Centrifuge Way in Oak Ridge on Oct. 29 joined politicians, along with company and government leaders, in celebrating the shipment of the first new American-made, advanced AC100M centrifuge as part of Centrus Energy Corp.’s multibillion-dollar expansion. The company is expanding its capacity to make thousands of gas centrifuges in Oak Ridge and to use those machines in the plant the company has been enlarging in Ohio to enrich uranium at traditional and higher concentrations for future nuclear power plants housing conventional or next-generation, advanced reactors. Pieces of the gas centrifuge have been shipped by truck to Centrus Energy’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, where the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant previously enriched uranium. According to a Centrus Energy news release, the ceremony marked a milestone in which expanded centrifuge manufacturing in Tennessee is connected with uranium enrichment expansion in Ohio “to rebuild America’s nuclear fuel supply chain. The achievement marks the assembly of a complete, unobligated supply chain to serve both the commercial and national security markets.” “ Completing the first new centrifuge for our expansion and standing up a one-of-a-kind supply chain are significant moments for our team and

Inside KUB’s 100-Year-Old Water Castle

There’s a rather magnificent brick fortress on Riverside Drive that looks like UT’s iconic Ayres Hall’s slightly more industrial cousin. With its Gothic windows and imposing towers, it has the general appearance of a place where someone might be imprisoned for treason or, at the very least, locked away to finish a dissertation. But in fact, it’s where your drinking water comes from.
