The Johnson City Press is committed to providing content that’s important to our readers — news coverage that highlights what is wonderful about our community and in-depth reporting that details challenges facing our community.

One of those challenges is growth. Johnson City is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Tennessee. Is the community equipped to handle the needs of the numerous families moving here? How will current residents be impacted by this growth?

The Johnson City Press is embarking on an investigative project to answer these questions.

Readers like you understand how local journalism can benefit a community. We’re grateful you trust us to do this work — and we could not do it without your help.

We’re asking you to make a tax-deductible donation to expand our local reporting on Johnson City’s growth.

Your donation will help us tell this important local story. Thanks for your support.
