Revitalization, Innovation, Cooperation
Few areas of Knoxville have as much potential for planned future growth and quality development as South Knoxville. One of its most recognized assets is the Tennessee River and its shoreline.
Thoughtful and imaginative planning and redevelopment of this "diamond in the rough" will redefine South Knoxville. The waterfront is, in turn, just one of a number of areas within South Knoxville that are poised for greatness.
All that is needed is strong planning, synergy and sensitive stewardship on the part of the community and its business and government partners.
The future is in our hands. With this groundbreaking collaborative effort, we believe that effective efforts and initiatives will begin to impact our community in ways that are both exciting and sustainable.
Stakeholders from every category in the community will find opportunities to work with others to improve the South Knoxville area to the heights of its potential.
