So far, these are the names sent in, that have been suggested for the new HOPE VI development, that replaces the Historic Riverview Apartments:

Riverplace
Riverview Manor
The Gates at Riverview (with the spirit of a new gateway of change)
Riverview Crossing (with the spirit of crossing over to a new era)
Riverview Legacy Homes
Riverview-Douglass Legacy Homes
Riverview - A Good Place to Come Home"
Riverview Place (this name was given to HUD because a name had to be submitted
for the HOPE VI application---this name wasn't binding and can be
changed)
Riverview Gate
Riverview Estates
Riverview-Douglass Trail
Riverview Colony


If you have any name suggestions, please send them to:
douglassriverview@gmail.com

Of the ones we get, we will send the most popular name as a suggestion to the folks at the Kingsport Housing and Redevelopment Authority. It will be the name the people of Douglass-Riverview say, they like the most. I've now been told, their chosen name will be given the most consideration.

Of course, the final decision will be KHRA's, but our suggestion will be a gage of what the Douglass-Riverview people like.
