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.
