Athletic complex set to open
The Johnson City Board of Commissioners will join City staff to celebrate the completion of the James K.

The project cost more than $17 million and was paid for using Capital Improvement Plan funding. For questions about the event, contact the Parks and Recreation Administration Office at 423.283.5815.
