Community survey ends July 14
Connect Knox, a new community-centered initiative geared toward connecting people and ideas, would like residents to participate in a brief survey that will help volunteers and staff get a pulse on the community. The survey will close on July 14.
The responses will be reviewed by demographics, including where respondents live. It’s important that they hear from as many people as possible about what they think is great about Knoxville and what needs work. Survey link: https://survature.com/s/tGPFhOkjRqCgzDXXcGNjig
