Today, we celebrated the official groundbreaking of the Doe Mountain Recreation Area Sportsman Complex—a major $4.1 million investment in outdoor recreation and the future of Johnson County!
This project will create new recreational opportunities for residents and visitors while supporting continued tourism and economic growth throughout our community.
We sincerely appreciate TWRA for its assistance in securing funding, along with the valuable support and partnerships of TDEC, Tennessee Tourism, Doe Mountain Recreation Area, and everyone who helped make this project possible.
We also extend our congratulations to Bob Stout Construction on securing the bid for the Phase One infrastructure work. We are especially pleased to see a local Johnson County company selected for this work. Keeping project dollars within our community helps support local workers, local families, and continued economic growth right here in Johnson County.
Today’s groundbreaking marks the beginning of another important chapter for Doe Mountain and Johnson County. We look forward to seeing construction begin and this exciting project take shape!
