COVID-19 Updates

Our goal is to continue providing service to the public while creating a safe environment. Because of this, we have limited staff on the premises during this time. We continue to encourage our partners to consider using alternate methods of conducting business whenever possible. *These measures were crafted with guidance from the City of Knoxville, Knox County, and the Knox County Health Department. Planning and the TPO will continue to operate by these standards during Phase 2 of their joint strategy for phased reopening, which has been extended until May 28, 2021. If certain COVID-19 case metrics fail to meet standards, that period may be extended further. Planning and the TPO will employ an equally flexible time frame for our Phase 3 operations.
