The Economic Development Administration awarded the City of Kingsport, Tennessee $6,460,000 under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307) on April 26, 2022 to upgrade existing water pump stations. The funding will support essential infrastructure improvements to ensure an adequate water supply for future economic growth and job creation in Sullivan County. Specifically, the project aims to assist potential manufacturers and businesses looking to locate or expand in Kingsport by providing a reliable water source. Completion of the pump station upgrades by August 2025 will help diversify the local economy and advance economic resiliency for an area impacted by declines in the coal industry through consistent water service and enhanced marketing opportunities.
