Eastman recently announced a partnership with UT. There are continued calls for more regional cooperation and economic development but who would that really benefit? Johnson City is doing quite well on its own and with Sullivan County treading water, does JC want to take on the added weight and risk sinking the ship?
I've found that amusing too. Eastman turns their nose up at ETSU graduates. While I'm sure a few get on here and there, when I was working at Eastman, it always struck me that Eastman wanted more prestigious graduates, but if you have prestige, you wouldn't be in Kingsport anyway.
