The former courthouse on Ashe Street in Johnson City took a step toward inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places Thursday. The move came just days after Johnson City officials requested that Gov. Bill Lee include $5 million in his fiscal 2021 budget proposal to restore the building for possible use as a business incubator. The building at 401 Ashe Street is part of the West Walnut Street corridor, a district in which the city is spending tens of millions of dollars to spur redevelopment.
