Harris Hoehne Honored by Keep Knoxville Beautiful; Suttree Landing, Pedestrian Bridge Win Orchids
Congratulations to long-time community leader and volunteer Felicia Harris Hoehne, who was honored with Keep Knoxville Beautiful's first-ever "Felicia Award," presented by Mayor Madeline Rogero at Tuesday night's Orchid Awards Dinner.
The award, named for Harris Hoehne, will be presented annually to honor an individual who exemplifies Keep Knoxville Beautiful’s mission to promote a cleaner and greener Knoxville.
Harris Hoehne, a driving force behind the Spring Place Neighborhood Association, served for about 50 years as a professional research librarian at the University of Tennessee. She joined the Keep Knoxville Beautiful board in 2009, and her commitment to the KKB mission (and her reputation as an avowed scourge of roadside trash) is legendary. In a room full of beautification advocates, she's probably the only person known to hire crews to pick up litter in other people's neighborhoods!
Among the Orchid Award winners were the City's Suttree Landing Park, selected in the "Outdoor Spaces" category, and the pedestrian bridge spanning Henley Street, near the Convention Center, in the "Public Art" category:
Other winners (and their category):
- Balter Beer Works and K Brew (Restaurants, Cafes, Bars and Breweries);
- The Daniel and Patricia Nash Designs (Reuse and Redesign);
- UT's Natalie L. Haslam Music Center (New Architecture);
- UT's Joint Institute for Advanced Materials (Environmental Stewardship); and
- The Tennessee Theatre (Mary Lou Horner Award).
