JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) – Preparation is underway across the Tri-Cities as Johnson City’s Freedom Hall prepares to welcome President Donald Trump for a campaign-style rally next week.

News Channel 11 learned Johnson City school leaders, and the police department held meetings Tuesday to determine changes and safety procedures in place for the commander in chief’s visit.

President Trump is expected to also attend a fundraiser ahead of Monday night’s rally at Freedom Hall – where he will help raise funds for Congressman Marsha Blackburn’s race for U.S. Senate in Tennessee.

News Channel 11 obtained a copy of the lease agreement between Freedom Hall and the “Donald J. Trump for President” organization.

The agreement states the Trump campaign leased Freedom Hall for Sept. 30 and Oct. 1.

The Trump campaign will pay $3,000 per day for the use of the facility – bringing the total amount to $6,000.

News Channel 11’s Justin Soto learned although excitement is building for the president’s visit – some are planning a protest Monday night.

The Washington County, Tennessee Democratic Party is planning to protest Trump’s visit on Monday.

Justin Soto spoke with the leader of another local group who plans to join in.

“It’s going to be a very peaceful protest and really just to get our message out,” Matt Skeens of the group “Appalachians Against Hate” out of Wise County said he and others plan to exercise their First Amendments rights when President Trump is in Johnson City on Monday.

“Show that not all people in this area northeast TN and southwest VA support Donald Trump,” Skeen said.

Skeens said they plan to send a message.

“The way he presents himself sometimes, mocking folks and using sort of hateful rhetoric. He is the president. I respect that office, but I wish I didn’t have to come out here and rally and have to fight for my healthcare. I wish things were different,” he said.

Trump supporters and State Executive Committee woman of the Republican Party for District 3 – Anita Hodges Taylor – said she’s disappointed to hear protests are planned.

“It’s such a shame that people would not honor the office of our president. They might not like him as a person. They may not like some of the issues that he promotes but the office of our president is so endearing, I think that everybody should respect that office,” Hodges Taylor said.

Hodges Taylor already has her tickets.

“I was thrilled because I think Marsha Blackburn has got to be elected, and for him to come here and support Marsha I think is a wonderful thing, to think he’s the leader of the free world, to come to this little town of Johnson City is a real thrill for all of us,” Hodges Taylor said.
