Late breaking news: Interactive map available now

Several of those who commented on the proposed plan complained about the published maps’ lack of detail. The just released interactive map makes it possible to drill down to the neighborhood and parcel levels.

Hints: To more easily find your home or your parcel, tap the Map Layers icon in the bottom left corner of the map. It pops up a menu from which you may hide the Policy Plan Draft and Future Land Use layers to more clearly see the street labels and to identify exact building locations, before turning on topical layers again to explore them in the local context.

Anyone who wants to address the Growth Policy Coordinating Committee at the Nov. 27 meeting can register by calling 865-215-2005 by noon on Monday, Nov. 27, 2023.

Knox County began the process to create its first Comprehensive Land Use and Transportation Plan several years ago. Advance Knox was a data driven process to create a plan to guide growth, land use, transportation, economic prosperity and quality of life for years to come. 

Though Knox County has experienced significant growth, the Growth Policy Plan hasn’t been updated in almost 20 years. Updating the map and plan are an important piece of this process. After two years of community engagement on this project, and working with a team of consultants, Knox County government believes it is ready to move forward with a plan for adoption.
