  • Letter from the Mayor Our Hometown in the Smokies! - Mayor Bryan Atchley
    Letter from the Mayor Our hometown in the Smokies! - Mayor Bryan Atchley What a truly exciting time to live and work in Sevierville! Over the past several years, our City has continued to grow in leaps and bounds. Being a life-long native of Sevierville, I have watched this city evolve from a quiet mountain town into a tourist destination and bustling county seat. Still, Sevierville has remained home to some of the warmest, friendliest people in Tennessee and the Southeast. My enthusiasm for Sevierville is most sincere and is a natural way of life for those of us fortunate enough to call this place home. Mayor Bryan Atchley The growth of Sevierville shows positive indicators for a city of its size. This progressive way of thinking and the desire for growth, not only from the city officials but also from the citizens I have been elected to represent, is what gives Sevierville its strength. The city is blessed with solid and forward-thinking leaders who are dedicated to improving our standard of living and maintaining our strong heritage. Operating as the county seat for Sevier County, Sevierville has developed as a diverse business community and serves as the area’s hub for banking and legal services. This diversity has provided Sevierville with a strong and stable economy built around industry, retail and professional services. The downtown area, home to many professional businesses, will be undergoing a facelift and will benefit from the planned development of a large parking facility and trolley system hub in the near future. Tourism in the area promises the most explosive growth.
