The Council approved a site plan proposal for commercial redevelopment project at 318 N. Lincoln, which is the old Kum N Go building. Other items approved included sewer repair work at South, Jefferson and Streeter streets and an agreement between the City of Knoxville and Peacetree Brewing Company, regarding a sewer rebate or discount.
