1. Happy Holidays from the Office of Neighborhood Empowerment!
The Office of Neighborhood Empowerment (ONE) would like to wish you and your family a happy holiday season!
We are so thankful to work with each of you throughout the year to make Knoxville a better place.
Here is a recap of achievements in 2022:
-
Several neighborhood groups received traffic calming tools through the
Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program (NTSP) including: South Haven Neighborhood Association, Parkridge Community Association, Colonial Village Neighborhood Association, Oakwood Lincoln Park Neighborhood Association, Michael Meadowview Neighborhood
Watch, Morningside Heights Homeowners Association, West Hills Community Association, Burlington Residents Association, Island Home Park Neighborhood Association, and several other non-organized neighborhood groups.
-
Six neighborhoods received grant funding through the
Neighborhood Small Grants Program (NSGP). The neighborhoods that participated in the program include:
Historic Fourth and Gill Neighborhood Organization, Lake Forest Neighborhood Association, Lindbergh Forest Neighborhood Association, RiverHill Gateway Neighborhood Association, South Knoxville Neighborhood and Business Coalition, and the
West Hills Community Association.
-
The Neighborhood Conference was held in person for the first time since the pandemic.
-
The West Hills Community Association and the Westwood Homeowners Association
actively participated in the Healthy Knoxville Program!
-
ONE hosted the annual Wiffleball Tournament and crowned Westwood Homeowners Association this year’s champ!
-
ONE partnered with the Knoxville Police Department, Police Advisory and Review Committee, the Office of Community Safety, and East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers to engage neighbors in four Neighborhood Safety and Awareness workshops. These public meetings
provided residents with neighborhood-specific crime data and empowered residents with simple tips for keeping their homes and belongings safer.
Let’s continue the good work in Knoxville neighborhoods in 2023.
See you then! |

3. City Announces Winter Holiday Schedule
City of Knoxville offices, including the Office of Neighborhood Empowerment, will be closed Friday, Dec. 23; Monday, Dec. 26; and Monday, Jan. 2.
Because Christmas falls on Sunday, trash and recycling will be picked up as usual on your service days. However Waste Connections’ office will be closed.
Between Monday, Dec. 26 and Friday, Jan. 6, 2023, waste collectors will pick up properly bagged excess holiday household trash and broken-down cardboard set next to full garbage carts.
Downtown trash and recycling, which are typically serviced on Sundays, will not be picked up on Sunday, Dec. 25.
The City's five recycling centers will be open throughout the holidays, but the Goodwill attendant will only be available for household goods donations for half the day on Saturday, Dec. 24, and unstaffed on Sunday, Dec. 25 and Sunday, Jan. 1. Please don’t
leave donated items at unstaffed centers.
The City's Solid Waste Facility at 1033 Elm St. will be closed on Friday, Dec. 23 through Monday, Dec. 26, with normal hours resuming on Tuesday, Dec. 27. For the New Year’s holiday, the facility will be closed on Saturday, Dec. 31 and Monday, Jan. 2 with normal
