Netherland Inn Roundabout to close Sunday night for repairs



KINGSPORT - The Netherland Inn Roundabout will close at 9 p.m. on Sunday August 19th and remain closed for the next 45 days to allow for repairs. The closure will require the use of detour routes, allowing no movement in the traffic circle itself from Netherland Inn Road, West Center Street or Industry Drive. However, slip lanes from Center Street to Netherland Inn Road and from Industry Drive to Center Street will remain open. The repair project is being paid for by a performance bonding company at no additional cost to City taxpayers. Detour routes include West Stone Drive to Lynn Garden Drive to Center Street as well as Riverport Road to Wilcox Drive to Center. Motorists are asked to plan ahead and use the utmost caution in the work zone.

www.MoveToKingsport.com is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the Eastern U.S. This city of 50,000 in a metro of 308,000, was planned by renowned American planner John Nolen in his office at Harvard Square. Located in the lush green foothills of the Tennessee Valley, it is surrounded by the Southern Highlands and mountain lakes. Kingsport is home to Marriott’s www.MeadowViewResort.com and thousands of acres of unique, natural amenities at Bays Mountain and Warriors Path Parks. The natural geography provides a temperate, well-balanced climate with four seasons and a natural shelter from extreme weather. Population growth has also been well-balanced, ensuring you will not outgrow your decision to relocate. With no personal property taxes, special assessments, or state income taxes on salaries/wages, you’ll find that Kingsport has a very low cost of living coupled with an exceptionally high quality of life (see for yourself at www.BestPlaces.net). The regional airport (TRI) has direct flights to Atlanta, Charlotte, Orlando and St. Pete/Clearwater with easy access, parking, and virtually no security lines. The public education system was planned by Columbia University and Newsweek has repeatedly recognized the local high school as one of the best in America. Year in and year out our graduates go on to the top colleges and universities (and without costly private school tuition fees). Harvard also recognized Kingsport in 2009 with the Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiative. What are you waiting for? It’s time to leave the high costs, traffic jams, and stress behind and discover this hidden gem.
