The Mayor wanted to thank the citizens of Knoxville for their participation and cooperation throughout this time. Greatly appreciate everyone’s efforts to help slow the spread. Now is the time. The next couple of weeks will be critical to us all. Special emphasis on social distancing and limiting trips out of the house and always practicing good hygiene. Social distancing does not mean no communication at all. Please take the time to check on loved ones, friends and neighbors. Currently the city is working on a neighbors helping neighbors program that will roll out later this week. Watch for a press release to explain more of this. Thank you everyone for making Knoxville great! City Manager’s Report: Aaron Adams wanted to reiterate what the Mayor said and to keep up the great work.
