Several months ago, residents of the West Davis Park neighborhood in Johnson City shared their frustration over the opening of Morgan Counseling on West Unaka Avenue. The business treats substance abusers and prescribes Suboxone. Under current city code, Morgan Counseling is not violating any zoning ordinances and can legally set up shop in a residential neighborhood. However, after hearing neighbors concerns about increased traffic in their community, Johnson City leaders began working on changing the city’s zoning code so future clinics like Morgan Counseling would not be able to open in residential neighborhoods.

Now, people who live in a Kingsport neighborhood are sharing a similar concern. Find out why tonight on News Channel 11 at 5pm and 6pm.
