Yes, but the DT has a photo!
It has been up all day at the good ole DT in the form of breaking news, and I meant to link it and forgot: ((link...)). Be sure to click back to the homepage for a great photo. Sounds like a great addition to the community!
I think it's a great idea.
I think it's a great idea.
I have no idea what the demand is in BLount County. I would think the demand grows every day. You have to have something to offer to meet the demand. The bigger they are will hopefully result in more offerings in Blount County, thus requiring fewer trips to the Hardin Valley campus.
Living in Blount County, I would rather travel to the UT Campus than Hardin Valley. Of course, the cost difference probably keeps many people away from UT.
great site
We have been concerned about the impact the new Union Grove schools would have on 321 traffic and with Pellissippi locating in the same area of 321 we have to get a traffic light out there. Anyone who travels 321 west knows of the problems with the Wm Blount Rd intersection.
