Canton lost its mill. Now the clock is ticking on its future

CANTON - First came the flood. Then the mill went silent. Then another flood. In August 2021, Tropical Storm Fred devastated Canton, swamping homes, businesses and municipal buildings. In June 2023, the paper mill that had sustained the Haywood County town for 115 years closed. Tropical Storm Helene brought another round of destructive flooding in September 2024. Now, after three devastating blows in four years, Canton is trying to do something more ambitious than recover. It is trying to decide what it wants to become. A sweeping new comprehensive plan puts the former mill property at the center of that transformation, envisioning a district of manufacturing, housing, commerce and recreation connected to downtown and the Pigeon River . But with a moratorium on data centers expiring in February and new development regulations on the horizon, the town faces growing pressure to turn its aspirations into policy before others decide the property's future. “This isn’t our plan,” Canton Mayor Zeb Smathers said during a Nov. 10 meeting. “It's the citizens’.” The 95-page Canton 2050 Comprehensive Plan, dated Oct. 20 and labeled a final draft, is the product of months of public workshops, surveys and conversations about what should replace the industrial

See what's replacing McClung Warehouses before Knoxville shares full vision

A modern, multistory building is planned for the McClung Warehouses site in downtown Knoxville, and the city plans to unveil the full vision by the end of the month. The city and its redevelopment arm, Knoxville's Community Development Corporation , have released a mock-up of what's being planned for the property near the railroad tracks between Gay Street and North Broadway. Across the street at The Standard, local officials will share additional renderings and project plans Nov. 30 after more than a decade of the site sitting empty. The McClung Warehouses, which sold and shipped wholesale goods, were destroyed by a pair of fires in 2007 and 2014. What's being built at the McClung Warehouses site? The rendering shows at least one building with large windows on the ground level, as well as a pathway alongside the building and what appears to be a rooftop social area. We don't know how many buildings are planned for the site or who is developing the property. KCDC in September said it had selected a developer to reimagine the 3.4-acre site, which right now includes a public parking lot at 401 W. Jackson Ave., the vacant McClung Warehouses site next to it and

He was 92. Fee spent more than 40 years in the Oak Ridge nuclear industry, rising through the ranks of Union Carbide, Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin to lead an organization overseeing major U.S. Department of Energy facilities in Oak Ridge, Paducah, Kentucky, and Portsmouth, Ohio.

A distinguished military graduate, he served as regimental commander of the university's Army ROTC Cadet Corps and credited that experience with helping develop the leadership skills he used throughout his career. Fee joined Union Carbide's Oak Ridge operations in 1956 as a junior physicist and development engineer at the K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Plant. He later earned a master's degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Tennessee in 1962.
