5th District of Union County
Sharps Chapel, TN

Kenny Hill believes we should plan to
accommodate the rapid growth in county
population. While retirees make up a
significant part of the population growth,
over half of the people moving into the
county are younger with children. He figures
that the population in 5 years will be about
30-40% more than it is today, which will
require new schools.
Kenny outlined the
options for raising funds and he feels that
the best one is to bring in new businesses
that will pay property tax and generate
sales tax. He feels that the peninsula of
Sharps Chapel will become a waterfront
resort in years to come. Retirees and
tourists may be the future of this county
and businesses may open up here to meet the
needs of these folks.
Kenny Hill has 16
years of experience on the County Commission
and has, at one time or another, served on
all of the various committees. He presently
serves on the Ambulance Board, the Budget
and Finance Committee, Solid Waste and the
School Roofing committee. He has worked for
improvements in Sharps Chapel, including:
the new Senior Center/Community Center
building; getting the caution light
installed at the Sharps Chapel Elementary
School; a convenience center in Sharps
Chapel and one in Speedwell; $100,000 to
assist low-income elderly and handicapped
with installation costs of water meters;
plans for a library and EMS substation (when
the building donated by Sunset Bay is
moved); the water grant for SCES and, when
that is completed, water for other areas of
the Chapel.
Kenny Hill says that he wants
to hear what residents think about different
issues and can often be found at D+A
Market on Sharps Chapel Road if voters
want to stop by and ask him anything.
