Fortune 500 company has a new global nuclear headquarters in Oak Ridge
Amentum, a Fortune 500 company with business lines ranging from spacecraft to environmental cleanup to immigrant detention , cut the ribbon Oct. 8 on a new global nuclear headquarters in Oak Ridge. The Virginia-based company employs 2,200 workers in East Tennessee as of 2026 and partners with Jacobs and Honeywell to operate the area’s leading environmental cleanup contractor for the Department of Energy, United Cleanup Oak Ridge.

Oak Ridge’s support for nuclear energy and technology, along with the rise of private nuclear ventures in the area , helped Amentum decide where to put its new nuclear center, said Mark Whitney, president of the company's energy and environment business. Amentum employs about 50,000 people across the world and is excited about the possibilities Oak Ridge can provide, CEO John Heller told Knox News. “We have business lines that are going to be growing or contracting based on different economic trends,” he said, referencing Amentum layoffs in Florida. “The nuclear industry right now − because of AI, the

Hundreds have moved into Belltown homes. Apartments and townhomes are next | Exclusive
Belltown has welcomed 275 families since construction began in 2023 , with nearly 300 homes built across the 305-acre mixed-use community between Karns and Powell. More than half of the 561 single-family homes planned for the development have been sold or are under construction, Belltown developer Josh Sanderson told Knox News, and prospective buyers have been put on a waitlist. Other forms of housing also are in the works. A 335-unit apartment complex is in the planning stages, and construction began this month on 185 townhomes geared toward people ages 55 and older. The townhome project is scheduled to wrap up in 2027, Sanderson said, and crews will soon begin building the next phase of single-family homes to be completed next winter. In total, 4,000 residents are expected to live in Belltown once the community is complete. Smithbilt Homes, the development company behind Belltown, has widened West Emory Road and added a traffic signal at the entrance to help address traffic concerns tied to the projected population increase. Private amenities for residents are finished, Sanderson said, including a pool, playground and clubhouse-style meeting area. Belltown plans to add a public park, which will have a playground, dog park, kayak area,
