Kingsport’s Aquatic Center location will put low income and seniors to a disadvantage
The city of Kingsport, TN has decided to build the aquatic center in the MeadowView area.
In the table below, you can see what groups of people will get the most use from the aquatic center. It appears that the lower income and seniors will be impacted more when the current Legions pool is shut down in the future.
Deputy City Manager Jeff Fleming crafted — at the committee’s request — a demographics report on all three sites and found the Meadowview site would be the closest to a majority of people living in the greater Kingsport area.

Seems that it doesn’t matter what the people want in Kingsport, TN. It’s was the BMA want. If one has the guts to go talk to the BMA they are so arrogant, especially Dennis Phillips . Just recently I checked to see what a room would cost me to stay at the Meadowview . I was have something done at my home and needed to leave for a couple of days. I could have stayed at the Opryland hotel for what they wanted at the Meadowview. Bed and Breakfast at Fox Manor was much better. Who Do they think they Are?
