Several projects around the city will continue in the new year.
âWe have the construction of the new Athens City (consolidated) school building, which has already started, and we will be seeing a lot of progress over the new year,â said Sumner. âThe new Higher Education Center, that will be on DENSO Drive, is really exciting as it is a new and innovative facility that will enhance Athens reputation as a center for workforce development across Southeast Tennessee.â
Residential and retail development is another feature Sumner is excited for.
âThere are a lot of new and exciting things to look forward to in 2021,â Sumner stated. âThere is a lot of really good growth for our community even as we continue going through the pandemic.â
