Knox County Invites Community Input on Eastern Road Improvements and Festive Events Ahead

Knox County Seeks Your Thoughts on Eastern Road Improvements!

Hey there, folks of Knox County! Exciting changes could be on the horizon for our lovely community, especially in the eastern part of the county. With growth expected in the area, Knox County leaders are stepping up to make sure the roads are ready to handle the influx of visitors and new residents.

Share Your Opinions!

This is your chance to let your voice be heard! Knox County is asking the public to pitch in their thoughts on the current state of the roads. The county is partnering with professionals to pinpoint the best solutions before any construction begins. They’ve had some experiences in the past—like in Hardin Valley—where homes popped up without proper transportation infrastructure in place. We all know how that turned out! So, they want to avoid repeating that situation.

To have your say, just hop on over to this survey and share your insights. Your feedback will help shape the future of your driving experience!

From November 27th to December 1st, the Knoxville Convention Center will be decked out in all its holiday finery, welcoming families and friends to bask in the festive cheer. Get ready for some dazzling tree displays and wonderful community vibes!

Every contribution you make will brighten someone’s day, so let’s spread the love this holiday season!
