A request to defer payments from the Watts Bar Riverboat Co. to the city was pulled at Tuesday’s Kingston City Council meeting.
Dave Westberg, head of the riverboat company, spoke during citizen comments to tell the council that he was pulling his request.
“We have received some good, positive information and believe that we will be able to pay the city by this Friday,” Westberg told the council. “With that, we will leave it.”
He did not explain the change of fortune, nor did he return a call from the Roane County News.
