Greetings from beautiful downtown Powell Station. It’s June, the lightning bugs are out and the people are cautiously coming out of their houses and back into social life – albeit wearing a mask, washing hands frequently and staying home if feeling sick.

Knox County Commissioner Larsen Jay had great news in his recent online newsletter. Fingers crossed, but a permanent boat launch may be built before the August flotilla. “Final decisions were made on a new ADA-accessible boat launch just west of the intersection of Brickyard Road and Powell Drive,” Jay wrote. Follow the link to find out all the folks involved. This is the site behind Powell High School where Knox County graveled last year for the flotilla launch.

HPUD is starting some serious work in Powell – replacing water and sewer lines that were among the first installed in the system over 50 years ago. See story here.
