Welcome to Ideas Week!
Ideas Week is the first series of events for Advance Knox, an effort to shape a new land use and transportation plan for the county. The following activities continue the events held from March 27-30. They provide an opportunity to let the county know what’s important to you.
Complete the three activities below at your own pace. Feel free to submit multiple responses.
1. Treasures
