What is your vision for Knoxville 10 years from now?
"My hope is that Knoxville continues to have the accessibility of a smaller town with cultural offerings of a bigger city. I would like to see greater diversity of ethnicity, culture, and belief systems. I’m hopeful for improved resources, opportunities, and consideration for the economically disadvantaged persons in our community. I would like to see a move towards our neighbors who are different and recognition for our individual value and shared humanity.
I would appreciate increased walkability."
