Dear neighbor, I see the City of Knoxville’s proposed sales tax referendum as a practical investment in our future. A half-cent increase is a small change that adds up to real improvements like safer streets, better parks, stronger neighborhoods, and more affordable housing. These are the building blocks that make Knoxville a great place to live, work, and build a business. When we invest in our city, we invest in each other. Better infrastructure and thriving neighborhoods attract talent, support local entrepreneurs, and make Knoxville a place where people want to stay and grow. Cities that take care of their communities build stronger economies, and Knoxville can do the same. A stronger economy benefits everyone, especially when we reinvest in our city. I’m voting FOR Knoxville because I believe in this community and in what’s possible when we choose to move forward together. Sincerely, Matthew Park |
