There is no reason new development should go here. Adding more development to our rural community is dangerous - the infrastructure cannot support it. The roads are small, there are no sidewalks or streetlights, there are food deserts, blind curves, and county planning needs to do better. There is no support for this many new homes, and we are losing too much forest and rural land currently.

As a long standing member of the community I believe we must draw a line. We have seen multiple subdivisions built throughout Knoxville and Tennessee as a whole. They do not represent the Tennessee spirit instead they divid us further. As a community we have fought against every subdivision that has been forced upon us. We need to define ourselves as the small town we are. Not only for general moral but also for public safety. The more people involved in the community the thinner the resources are spread. The money brought in by people moving here does not stay local. The money is sent to the property owners who have sold out and moved on. Knoxville is slowly becoming so metropolitan that a simple drive becomes a thirty minute commute. Please evaluate the local community and our current standing. Simply put we are not interested.

Our little town cannot support this type of growth. Our roads cannot take another housing development in their current state. The traffic is already terrible if there is one small hiccup in the morning or evening commute. The schools cannot support anymore children in the already deteriorating classrooms and schools. There is not enough staff in the schools to support the children that are currently attending. Our farm land is being taken at an alarming rate making it impossible for future farming opportunities. Please consider what these housing developments do to our small town when they tear apart our natural ecosystems, traffic patterns, and schooling situations.
We do not need anymore house tracks in Corryton!
