Knoxville City Council postpones Emerald Youth proposal. Knoxville City Council voted to postpone its final decision for four weeks to allow additional feedback from the community. Emerald Youth Foundation President and CEO Steve Diggs stated: “For more than three years, Emerald Youth Foundation has engaged in hundreds of conversations with individuals, groups and community leaders about a proposed facility in East Knoxville to serve city children and families. We respect City Council’s decision to postpone for four weeks to allow additional community feedback. Meeting the needs of young people and families right in their own neighborhood has always been the driving force behind this project and location. I hope and believe that their needs will continue to be considered. When we invest in young people, the entire community benefits. We remain committed to this deliberate and thoughtful process and appreciate the leadership of City Council and Mayor Kincannon.”
