Knoxville’s Community Development Corporation (KCDC), along with business and community leaders and residents, officially opened the first of six new housing developments of the Transforming Western initiative on Jan. 14.
The Overlook at Beaumont includes 76 rental units with one- to five-bedroom options, including 31 subsidized replacement units, 30 affordable units, and 15 market-rate units.
