Tribes discuss role of Long Island in King's Port on the Holston

www.timesnews.net - 18.05.07

KINGSPORT - Representatives from three Native American tribes - the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians and the United Keetoowah Band - were in the Model City this week, meeting with city officials about how to incorporate parts of Long Island into the King's Port on the Holston project.

The King's Port on the Holston project calls for the creation of an arts, entertainment and heritage district along the riverfront area of Kingsport. City leaders envision the district including new restaurants and condos, a riverboat, the restoration of the old hospital, and the creation of an amphitheater on Long Island.

Kingsport has employed Kennedy, Coulter, Rushing and Watson (KCRW) to create a 20-year phased master plan for the project by June. The plan will include land use and zoning recommendations, vehicular and pedestrian infrastructure improvements, and other ideas such as public art and the incorporation of a civic magnet project.
