The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. After an overflow audience at the “Last Great Program at Douglass,” city officials, architects and construction crews are now ready to turn the old Douglass School building into Kingsport’s nonprofit center. After the ceremony, during which light refreshments will be served, crews will begin demolishing the historic Douglass auditorium, signaling the start of the renovation work. All Douglass alumni and residents of Kingsport are invited to attend. For more information, contact Johnnie Mae Swaggerty at 246-6623 or Calvin Sneed at 421-7784.
