City Hosts Regional Community Development Conference
During the first week of October, our
Community Development
department hosted the Region VI Southeastern conference of the
National Community Development Association
, welcoming approximately 40 community development professionals from across the Southeast and as far away as Miami, Fla.
Community Development staff, including Cicely Henderson, Shaina Simerly, Janna Cecil and Stephanie Cook, welcomed and registered guests in the lobby of the Hyatt Place, the former Farragut Hotel renovated by Dover Development in downtown Knoxville. The hotel project received a Section 108 Loan from the City of Knoxville.
Conference guests attended a variety of presentations and training sessions in the Hyatt Place's meeting rooms.
Angie Hubbard (above), Director Economic & Community Development, Greater Nashville Regional Council, and Sandra Gober (below), Manager Community Development, City of Chattanooga, presented on Opportunity Zones.
Local staff and conference attendees took time for evening social hour at Hyatt Place's rooftop bar and bowling down the street at Maple Hall.
Hallerin Hilton Hill, pictured above with Community Development Director Becky Wade, presented the conference's keynote address.
Guests went on a bus tour of commercial façade grant projects and affordable housing developments. You can see before and after photos of the tour stops
