Bid accepted for Buck Van Huss Dome renovation

The Kingsport City Schools Board of Education held a special called meeting on Tuesday where they decided the bid for the Buck Van Huss Dome Renovation Project. Preston Construction Company won the low bid for $19,015,000, over J.A. Street & Associates bid of $19,925,000. The complete renovation total is estimated to be just over 23 million. The Buck Van Huss Dome has been closed for more than a year after moisture was found throughout parts of the structure. In addition to the structural work, other technical work will help with longevity.
