CIP stands for Community Investment Program and Kingsport has released the CIP for 2010-2014.

A CIP is strategic in funding projects that advance the economic outlook of the community, ensure a well-educated workforce and provide for the overall quality of life in the community.

Our CIP projects are multi-generational in usage, projects that will be used by many and paid for over time in part by all users.

A CIP should keep the overall tax rate low by being constrained in outlook, recognizing the economic climate of the time, with dollars spent wherever possible to ensure a growing local tax base, avoiding any pressure on property tax rates.
