ABSTRACT:
This collection consists of the “Visual Image Study, Code, and Ordinance Review” (VISCOR).  The “project originated with and is significantly based upon the findings from ‘Looking at Kingsport 2000: A Visual Image Study’ (VIS)” and previous visioning reports conducted primarily by Kingsport Tomorrow.  The report’s creators sought to consolidate previous visioning research concerning Kingsport, Tennessee conducted between 1990 and 2005.  They sought to evaluate and interpret results, synthesize a single vision, review existing policies, find commonalities between sought outcomes and existing policies, and set forth planning recommendations.  Included are images from the Visual Image Study, research data collected from a survey administered to 1,015 people, policy analysis, and the community’s composite vision.
