Citizens are invited to sign up to offer their expertise, time and talents to help with city events, landscaping downtown and picking up trash among other projects.
Check out the “NEWS” story on the right to submit your volunteer form. We are looking forward to working with you!
If you have not already done so, please take a moment to sign up for Knox County Emergency Management’s Code Red System. This system will call your phone in the event of an emergency. For weather related issues, it uses your address to notify you of storm warnings in our area.
