10 Year Vision for Knoxville
A sustainable, diverse, economically vibrant society that will enable businesses to thrive while providing opportunities to learn, earn and grow for everyone that wishes to live here.
What is Knoxville's Best Kept Secret?
Its people, and natural beauty.
What would you do to strengthen Knoxville?
Foster a "Greater Knoxville" identity. There are too many great smaller cities outside of Knoxville or Knox County that are considered "not Knoxville" but both sides. We need to join forces at many levels.
