Meeting to Gather Public Input on
Consolidated Northwest Knox County Senior Center



Who:   Mayor Mike Ragsdale
Knox County Commissioners

What: Opportunity for public input

When: Wednesday, October 14, 2009
4:00-5:30 p.m.

Where: Cedar Bluff Elementary School Library
705 North Cedar Bluff Road


Background:   Knox County is exploring the feasibility of developing an expanded senior center to serve Northwest Knox County and the Town of Farragut.  There is currently no senior center in the area of Powell, Karns, Solway, Amherst or Cedar Bluff.  The current Frank Strang facility is overcrowded and has inadequate parking facilities.  Knox County wants to find out if we could better serve our senior citizens with a larger senior facility in a more central location that would offer expanded programming and have more adequate parking.
