Built in 1996, the convention center was financed through a 0.25% increase in the city sales tax (which makes it 9.50% total). The facility is managed by Marriott International. It has been a great boon to Kingsport:
1996 = MeadowView Convention Center opened
1998 = $22.5 million in surrounding property value
2006 = $82.8 million in surrounding property value
That’s $60.3 million in private investment near the convention center over an 8 year period!
