Downtown Summit
Improving downtown Knoxville started with the Mayor's Downtown Summit Sept. 16, 2004. The Summit provided information on the Mayor's and city's approach to downtown and the status of special projects as well as provided an opportunity for city officials to hear suggestions and answer questions on a wide variety of issues and concerns to those who live, work and play downtown.
