KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – The Knoxville Community Development Corporation cut the ribbon on a major milestone for its Transforming Western project: The Overlook at Beaumont.
The Overlook is the first new housing development to open as part of Transforming Western. It includes 76 one-to-five bedroom units, 31 of which are subsidized, 30 are affordable units and 15 go for market rate.
