As a 2013 IBM Smarter Cities Challenge grant recipient, City of Knoxville officials received expert recommendations for connecting utility bill assistance services with energy efficiency programs.
A Knoxville Smarter Cities Stakeholder Council was created to help lead the next phase of Knoxville's Smarter Cities Challenge and will work with four community-driven work groups to implement the recommendations.
The council met for the first time on Thursday in the Small Assembly Room of the City County building.
The Stakeholder Council will meet quarterly. Meetings will be open to the public.
