Site work and new construction of a municipal facility in Kingsport, Tennessee. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a municipal facility; and for site work for a municipal facility.

KATS is constructing a new transit garage and maintenance facility located at 880 East Main St. The old transit garage located at 141 Clay St can now be dispositioned and used for something else. Because FTA has the majority interest in the facility their guidelines must be followed to dispose of the facility. The most recent appraisal (2016) of the facility provided an estimate of $200,000 which is less than the original purchase price. At a minimum, FTA will expect their portion of the match back. $241,500 total was used to purchase the facility and land it sits on in 2008. The following shows the amounts and total matching of each participating agency: FTA provided $193,200 (80%); TDOT $24,150 (10%); and City $24,150 (10%). If the property is sold it's anticipated that FTA and TDOT will expect their original investment back. $217,350 would be needed to transfer either to them or an internal account that would then be used as their share in a future transit capital project.
