I understand a need for a drug rehab facility. But why Halls? Why not West Knox County? Higher population and a greater need for the facility in that area.

An alcohol and drug treatment facility should not be located across from a school or so close to residential neighborhoods. I am concerned that I was the only person in my neighborhood that received a postcard regarding this application.

In regards to a drug/alcohol recovery unit directly across from an elementary school: If we want to keep our children safe, if we do not allow alcohol sales within sight of a school, why would you permit a rehabilitation center near the elementary school. You cannot tell me that in a county as large as Knox, that there is not a more suitable piece of property. Please look at the current data of crime incidents at facilities such as these and for once put our children first!

How have the crime rates near the homes and businesses immediately surrounding these transitional housing facilities changed after development and use? Over a three or five year period before and after beginning of operations, is there a measurable increase in reportable crimes and police calls to areas within 5 blocks of these facilities?
