Can Knoxville Survive Its Own Growth?

What happens when a city grows faster than its roads, parking, housing, and infrastructure? Knoxville is growing fast—but can the city keep up? In this episode of Big Orange Business, Haley sits down with Dustin Durham, Chair of the Knoxville Transportation Authority, for one of the most important conversations happening in Knoxville right now. From traffic on Interstate 40… to downtown parking… to housing density… to airport transportation… to what Knoxville could look like by 2050… This isn’t just about buses. This is about the future of Knoxville. Whether you already live in Knoxville, are thinking about moving here, or simply want to better understand where East Tennessee is headed… this conversation matters. 🎙️ Special thanks to Mabry-Hazen House for once again welcoming Big Orange Business to record from one of Knoxville’s most iconic historic landmarks, built in 1858 and overlooking downtown Knoxville.
