Some good news in the building industry as the city of Kingsport has issued over 220 building permits for single-family homes for the 2023 fiscal year, which is already more than the 203 permits issued in 2022.Kingsport Assistant City Manager, Jessica Harmon, sees the city growing steadily and doesn’t expect it to slow down. “Where we see 220 permits being issued, we’ve got about 2000 locked in some form of an approval process with us,” says Harmon.
