In Knoxville opportunity is being transformed into reality! Existing businesses are expanding and new businesses are opening. Community partners such as the school district, hospital and large industrial companies are either currently undergoing expansions or are preparing for one. The City is also investing in the future by evaluating and improving roads, sewer infrastructure, parks, public facilities, and housing development.

Development Opportunities 

An exciting new opportunity within Knoxville is the Veteran's District. A previous Veterans Administration Hospital Campus is beginning to see new life. As the old buildings have come down the City of Knoxville is seeking developers interested in adding new housing to a much needed market.

In collaboration with Knoxville's downtown businesses, Marilyn Arber, City of Knoxville Community Development Director recently took on a project in helping promote our Downtown. This project comes as a result to Knoxville's current downtown revitalization efforts that are underway after a downtown assessment conducted from Iowa Economic Development Authority. 

Through much excitement and support from the downtown businesses, we're thrilled to share with you what Knoxville has to offer through Explore Knoxville. A downtown business magazine filled with everything Knoxville downtown has to offer.
