Last month, Mayor Dennis Phillips, and Dr. William Locke spoke before a panel of professionals at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Kingsport is among 16 finalists for the Innovations in American Governance Award from the Ash Institute for Democratic Governance Award from the Ash Institute for Democratic Governance and Innovation.
Kingsport is a finalist from a field of over 600 applicants across the country and together they present the initiatives about the Downtown Academic Village and Kingsport's goal to "educate and grow."
The winning innovations will be announced later in September and in addition to the national recognition – three top prizes of $100,000 will be awarded and three will be awarded $50,000.
It's another proud moment to see our community on the agenda at Harvard. This 12 minute presentation was impressive and represents the efforts and bright minds here in our mountain home – Great Job!
