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.

Surgoinsville fire chief leaves farewell message

SURGOINSVILLE — Although he was unable to attend the Monday, Nov. 9 Surgoinsville BMA meeting, recently departed Fire Chief Shane Suthers left a farewell message. During the reports to the board early in the meeting, Suthers’ report stated that “it had been one of the biggest honors of his life to serve,” and thanked the board and community for their support. Suthers had announced his resignation on Monday, Oct. 5, but served through the end of last month. He had served the Surgoinsville Fire Department for 22 years, including the last 10 as Chief, but said that serving in that capacity was costing him too many missed opportunities with his family. He said he would continue to serve the department as a firefighter. On an evening when most of the agenda items included what might be termed housecleaning measures, the fire department again took front and center, when the board approved a request for the department to apply for a Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant Program (VFEAT) grant. These grants are awarded annually by the Department of Commerce and Insurance, and reimburse departments for matching funds they may have to pay on federal grants for the purchase of firefighting
