Knoxville is one of only four communities selected nationwide for this spe- cial program that will be open to City leaders and community stakeholders. “Cities across America are rethinking what makes an ideal environment for manu- facturing, and Knoxville shows a lot of promise on this front,” said Chris Zimmerman, Smart Growth America vice president for Economic Development.
