It is easy to submit your contributions. You can place markers on a Knox County map and post your thoughts and concerns about each of those spots or areas. You may also comment on specific topics or fill in a general survey … as much or as little as you like.
Contributions from outside of Knox County are invited and welcome, too.
Hints: You may directly scroll down to the map and start by placing dots on the location(s) to which your first idea or comment pertains. Give it a short title for maximum effect.
The first Advance Knox Ideas Week public input session was held at Gibbs Middle School. Atelier N/Hellbender Press
Advance Knox is a comprehensive planning process that will guide land use and transportation decisions for the next 20 years. It will result in the next Knox County General Plan.
Here is a collection of excerpts from official statements released about the plan’s objectives over the past year.
The plan will:
- “Incorporate an in-depth analysis of our transportation network, including safety, capacity and multi-modal access;
- Analyze population growth projections, land availability and infrastructure conditions;
- Address community concerns about how development is impacting infrastructure throughout the county;
- Identify areas of Knox County that should be preserved and areas that are appropriate for new growth and investment;
- Guide smart public and private investments in infrastructure, as well as neighborhood and community development;
- Align land use and transportation goals to create a blueprint for the county’s future; and
- Guide decisions about where and how future growth occurs and where investments in infrastructure and services are made in the years to come.”
