Knox County Redistricting Committee

The next meeting of the Knox County Redistricting Committee has been scheduled for July 8th, 2009 at 3 PM in the Main Assembly Room of the City County Building. Two new plans, 3A and 7B, will be considered along with plans 3, 6 and 7A at that meeting. View redistricting plans and meeting materials >>

Sustainable Development Incentive Program

Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet our needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for our future generations. It is a key principle underlying our comprehensive plan: The Knoxville – Knox County General Plan 2033. A Sustainable Development Working Group was assembled to explore the development of programs that encourage sustainable development by providing incentives in the City and County Zoning Ordinances.

Knoxville South Waterfront Park and Road Final Name Selection Survey

In March, many took part in a poll to help name three streets and a new city park in the South Waterfront area. City Council's Public Properties & Facilities Naming Committee (PPFNC), chaired by Councilman Joe Bailey, met on June 8th to discuss the survey results published in the April SW newsletter.

The PPFNC asked the South Waterfront Department to run the survey again with just the top two names from each category to get final results. The Committee and the Metropolitan Planning Commission will make their final recommendations before City Council is asked to formally approve the selected names. Take the survey >>
