Impact Kingsport - Intiative Overview

Home |  Initiative OverviewGet Involved!About Cities of ServiceAbout AARP | About Cities of Service–AARP Volunteer CSO IntiativeNewsContact Us

The Vision of Impact Kingsport is to engage highly educated retirees in Kingsport to utilize their many years of experience and business contacts in a proactive strategy to grow Kingsport’s economic base through attracting new and retaining existing businesses and industrial companies. Striving to meet the vision requires recognition of two basic assumptions;


1) Human capital is one of our regions greatest assets and is currently not being capitalized and utilized.

2) Economic Developers work with a broad base of industries in recruitment but do not always know where to find people knowledgeable in a specific industry to assist with the process.

In these difficult economic times, it is critical for a city to put forth its best efforts in attracting and retaining businesses. This plan will be used to showcase the benefits for a company to locate or remain in Kingsport by including highly skilled volunteers in the recruiting process. These volunteers may be familiar with the potential company or process and can provide valuable assistance to the City’s Economic Development Planner.
