NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett and State Representative John Crawford presented a $100,000 construction grant to the Kingsport Public Library on Friday as part of a larger interior renovation project aimed at improving the library’s facilities for the community.
“This grant will help renovate the children’s area and ensure the Kingsport Public Library remains a welcoming place where future generations can learn and grow,” said Secretary Hargett. “I want to thank the state and local leaders for their dedication to supporting the library. We all know that strong libraries are essential to strong communities.”
The grant received strong support from state legislators, Senator Bobby Harshbarger, Representative John Crawford, and Representative Bud Hulsey, who are instrumental in appropriating the grant funds.
