BLOUNTVILLE â Where public entities have failed to build better access to a new Sullivan County high school opening next August, a public-private partnership called Jericho Partners may come to the rescue.
The idea, if it works, would get the access road to West Ridge High School on Lynn Road off Exit 63 of Interstate 81 in place by the August 2021 opening of the 1,700- to 1,900-student school.
And involved with the potential project is Jim Belgeri, the former Sullivan County commissioner of roads and a civil engineer who proposed a West Ridge access road project and funding for it when he was in office. However, the Sullivan County Commission turned down the idea.
