Neighbors Want Proposed South Knox County Housing Plan Nixed, Petition Circulating

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Neighbors in South Knox County are calling on Heartland Development to stop a proposed plan to bring around 170 homes to the Tarklin Valley area.

Heartland Development plans to get the land rezoned by the Knox County Planning Commission to allow them to build single-family homes off Pickens Gap Road.

Most people living in the area are against the plan, and they have already organized a petition against the development which has garnered more than 100 signatures.

Residents opposing the plan are expected to attend the Knox County Planning Commission meeting on April 11.

This plan is not a part of Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs’ Growth Policy Plan that was voted down by Farragut last week.
