Kingsport Aldermen Approve Airport Parkway Rezoning for Quarry Expansion Amidst Public Concern
The Kingsport Board of Aldermen considered an ordinance to rezone approximately 49 acres along Airport Parkway from a Mixed Use (MX) District to a General Manufacturing (M2) District. This rezoning is intended to allow for the expansion of an existing rock quarry operated by Martin Marietta. The proposal faced significant public comment, with concerns raised about proximity to Holston Elementary School, potential dust and vibration impacts, traffic, and property values. Martin Marietta presented voluntary commitments to mitigate these concerns, including specific blasting protocols and monitoring near the school and residences. The Board ultimately approved the rezoning with a 6-1 vote after considerable discussion and consideration of both the economic benefits and community concerns.
