Sheena Johanns

Sheena Johanns was re-elected president of the group and her leadership team remained intact after Margaret Massey-Cox said anyone wanting to nominate someone else will be considered a volunteer. Silence prevailed. Membership dues are voluntary and used to pay for mowing, lighting and general maintenance of the entrances.

Roads was a topic. A Knox County representative said W. Emory Road will be getting a turn lane from Clinton Highway to the new Belltown community. Belltown will pay for the turn lane and roadwork in front of the development and Knox County will pay to extend it on to Clinton Highway.

Also, Clinton Highway will get an additional turn lane onto Emory Road going west.

The county’s goal is February 2026 for improvements to the intersection of Clinton Highway and Beaver Creek Drive. There’s also a project ahead for the intersection of E. Copeland Road at Greenwell Drive.

Andrew Sharits

Andrew Sharits, a Realtor and Broadacres resident, provided his annual property values recap. In 2024, he said 26 homes in Broadacres sold with an average 2100 square feet, an average sales price of $402,000 and were on the market an average 40 days.

So far in 2025, he said 10 homes have sold at an average price of $371,000 and 33 days on the market. Fewer than 10 of Broadacres’ 845 homes are currently listed, and he estimated fewer than 10% of homes in the subdivision are rented.
