Gibbs and Carter Communities waging Class Warfare

It is interesting to read the letters about how Gibbs and Carter have gotten NOTHING. Lets get the facts straight.

  • $1 million dollar Sports fieldhouse at Gibbs - they promised $400,000.00 and didn't deliver on the promise - the school board had to bail them out
  • Extremely expensive Football Stadium at Carter - far larger than they will ever need
  • Land on Tazwell Pike between their middle school, Elementary and High School
  • Land and Architectual drawings for a NEW Gibbs Elementary immediately across the street
  • Land for a Carter Elementary / Middle School on Strawberry Plains Pike
  • Renovation and expansion of $10 million at their middle school - Holston
  • Renovation and expansion at Ritta Elementary - it is NOT at capacity - the school board should rezone the Gibbs Elementary kids to Ritta - that's the solution imposed on everyone else in Knox County
  • Renovation and expansion at Halls Elementary School
  • A NEW Brickey Elementary School

I can locate all the Knox County improvements for libraries, parks, law enforcement, Three Ridges Golf course, roads etc. that have been and are proposed for the Gibbs and Carter communities.
