Knoxville, TN (WOKI) More rental housing options are coming to Knoxville.
In an 8 to 1 vote Tuesday night, the Knoxville City Council passed Mayor Indya Kincannon’s plan to build more affordable homes in the city.
That means building diverse housing options that take up less space in the city like duplexes and townhomes.
City Council also discussed densely populated and walkable communities and a mix of single family homes and mid rise apartments also called attainable housing because it’s easier to get than a single family unit, and it provides more space without lawn care.
Now that the measure is passed, officials say they’re working on the details to see when these homes will start construction.
