Note: This link will only work for about 5 more days.

Johnson City's new digital radio system will cost the City nearly $5,000,000.00 and local and county agencies hundreds of thousands of dollars.

System, New Tower, and Radio's for JC city users are within the 5 million dollar estimate.

$600,000.00 to $700,000.00 cost for just the Washington County, TN Sheriff's Office alone, with radios costing approximately $2,700.00 each.
