Greeneville, TN — CHASAN, LLC is proud to announce a $100,000 donation to the Magnavox Historical Preservation Association to help preserve and celebrate one of Greeneville’s most important pieces of history.
The “Magnavox” name holds a special place in the hearts of many local families. For decades, the Magnavox plant provided jobs, opportunity, and a sense of pride to the Greene County community. CHASAN, which now owns the former Magnavox building — Plant 3, as so many know it — wanted to honor that legacy and support the Association’s efforts to preserve and share the Magnavox history with future generations.
“CHASAN, in many ways, was born out of the Plant 3 building and became integral to CHASAN’s business. So many families in Greene County and East Tennessee have ties to Magnavox, including my own — parents, grandparents, neighbors — everyone knows someone who worked there,” said Marlin White, President of CHASAN. “This donation is our way of honoring the past and helping keep those memories alive for future generations. We are very happy to support a permanent home for the Showcase.”
The donation will help the Magnavox Historical Preservation Association with the construction of the permanent home of the Magnavox Showcase, which will be located at 113 E Depot Street.
CHASAN’s gift reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the community and preservin the history of the buildings and industries that built Greeneville.
