THE OTHER SIDE WILL BE EXPANDED INTO WITH FIELDS, BASEBALL FIELDS, WITH INDOOR SPORTS ARENAS, AND THE REQUEST WAS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHARGE AN ADMISSIONS TAX SO THAT THE COUNTY CAN BOND THE SERVICES FOR THE ACCESS ROADS THAT GO INTO THIS 250 ACRES THAT ADJOINS THIS DEVELOPMENT ON THE TENNESSEE-VIRGINIA LINE AND I HOPE THE BODY WILL PASS THE BILL.
