Knox County Commission Takes The Right Action on Approving an Eighth District Plan and Rezoning

The Plan and Rezoning for a GREAT development in the Eighth Commission District passed this afternoon at Knox County Commission. Commissioner Greg Lambert and Lee Tramel made a Substitute Motion to Approve.

The motion passed with 10 votes in favor, 7 against and 2 Commissioners absent.

Two point five (2.5) dwelling units per acre and sewer service is connected to the development. This is a GOOD development for North Knox County and the Eighth Commission District.

As a side bar: There was some speculation as to why there were no negative stories about the County Commission in the various Shopper publications this week. Some Commissioner's informed me that Betty Bean of the Shopper staff was aggressively working to have this plan and rezoning defeated.
