WESTERN HEIGHTS TRANSFORMATION PLAN

|

LETTER FROM THE MAYOR Transforming Western exemplifies a comprehensive approach to assisting a struggling neighborhood in Knoxville.

The City is committed to continue to play a key role in the implementation of the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative.

The planning process has been extensive and community-driven, with several meetings and an online survey to help achieve a plan that reflects what neighbors want in their backyards.

We know this transformation will not only be changing the landscape of a neighborhood, but also the future for those who live there.

At the recent groundbreaking for a new Head Start in Western Heights, you could feel the excitement and the optimism in this neighborhood! As Mayor of Knoxville, I can assure you the City is proud to be an active and committed partner in the success of this plan. We have served as the Neighborhood Lead for the process and provided staff and financial support.

Introduction / Letter from the Mayor

Sincerely, The Honorable Indya Kincannon Mayor City of Knoxville
