Peoples Bank in Pleasantville will be donating their current downtown building to the Knoxville Hospital and Clinics.

The hospital, has been conducting business in Pleasantville out of the current Pleasantville Clinic for the past 12 years, couldn’t be more happy about the donation according to Knoxville Hospital and Clinics CEO, Kevin Kincaid. Kincaid tells KNIA/KRLS News the donation came about from a simple idea that was floated to Peoples Bank and they in turn jumped on the idea and it was approved by their board. Peoples Bank will soon break ground on a 4,000 square foot facility that will be constructed at the intersection of Highway 5 and West Jasper Street.
