We believe that the Greater Knoxville area has a unique opportunity to become a place that balances a strong, caring sense of community with growing prosperity-- a place that is both a great place to grow a career and a great place to raise a family. Our community research indicates that to achieve that vision, our community must currently focus on the following strategic priorities.

Servant Leadership

• Making Knoxville a "leader-full" community;

Education

• Ensuring an education that makes every student ready for the world;

Community Building

• Creating a more civil, trustworthy, caring, and joyful community;

UT/ORNL Community

• Taking full advantage of the synergy between the University of Tennessee, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the community to be a talent magnet;

Downtown to the Neighborhoods

• Building on the downtown momentum and connecting that infectious optimism to the surrounding neighborhoods; and

Quality Growth

• Creating a regional quality growth initiative.
