ROANE COUNTY COMMISSION DECIDE TO WAIT ON DOLLAR GENERAL STORE PURCHASE OPTION
The Roane County Commission has decided to hold off a little longer on looking at an option to purchase the Kingston Dollar General Store property. Commissioners have been looking at that and other sites within one or two blocks of the courthouse/jail area in order to expand the facility. They say that a work session needs to be held to better explain the needs for such an expansion and to look at other possible options. The county jail was built eight years ago at that location and commissioners have looked at the adjoining property for some time in hopes of building on.
