| IMPROVING DOWNTOWN |
Improving downtown Knoxville started with the Mayor's Downtown
Summit in Sept. 2004. The Summit provided information on the Mayor's
and city's approach to downtown and the status of special projects
as well as provided an opportunity for city officials to hear suggestions
and answer questions on a wide variety of issues and concerns to those
who live, work and play downtown.
Following this Summit, the Downtown Advisory
Committee was created by the Mayor in Oct. 2004 to aid in identifying
priorities needed to spur continued private investment, provide a
realistic execution plan with available resources in mind, promote
downtown's role as the heart of the city with diverse activities and
events, and address priorities identified by participants in the Downtown
Summit.
The City of Knoxville will hold two public meetings to review and
elicit public comments on the downtown
improvement strategy recommended by the Downtown Advisory Committee.
