What's Next Knoxville?

KNOXVILLE - The City of Knoxville is updating its Comprehensive Plan - a long-range policy document that will guide decisions on land use, transportation, and investment priorities over the next 25 years. The process is called “What’s Next Knoxville?”

In the spring, the community shared what they love about Knoxville, what they want to retain, and what they think could change. Now, the project team is asking “How?”

Using the initial feedback, the project team created the draft vision statement and goals, and options for how different priorities could shape the future of Knoxville. They’re asking the community to weigh in on those options by completing a short survey.

How to provide input:

• Take the survey online at WhatsNextKnoxville.com
• Complete a paper survey (scorecard) at the What’s Next Knoxville Headquarters at 30 Market Square or at an event.

--Those who complete the survey can enter to win a $50 Visa gift card! One winner will be picked each week through November 22! Official rules can be found on the project website.

--For Headquarters office hours and event locations, go to  WhatsNextKnoxville.com/Events
