Episode Synopsis
Last week, County Commission considered several possible changes to Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs' proposed new comprehensive land use plan — and Jacobs fired back by urging them not to touch a thing about it. On this week's episode, Jesse and Scott talk about the complexities of the plan and the underlying politics between development interests and local residents and conservationists. Also: City Council takes a step toward redeveloping the long-languishing McClung Warehouses property; a large proposed apartment complex on a hill overlooking the river downtown stirs opposition; and Gov. Bill Lee's voucher plan struggles toward the legislative finish line, with the outcome still unclear. In the interview segment, the guys talk to Kevin Murphy of the Knox County Planning Alliance about the county planning update. And they look ahead to County Commission's vote this week, as well as a budget vote by the school board and Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon's State of the City address.
