In early August, mayors from across the country convened in Knoxville for the Mayors Innovation Project Summer Meeting.
The three-day event was about bringing mayors together to share ideas about prosperity, environmental sustainability, and efficient governing.
During their time in Knoxville attendees were invited to all corners of the city and were treated to discussions on a variety of topics including:
Affordable Housing Progress
Vision Zero
Violence Interruption and Prevention
And, Great Place-Making
“In addition to our City staffers shining, another highlight of the event was Reverend Harold Middlebrook,” said Mayor Indya Kincannon. “Rev. Middlebrook delivered our keynote address, and talked about his thoughts on how mayors can make a positive difference in creating a beloved community.”
