What happened to the $30.7 million Topgolf-style golf complex planned for Tennessee?

A $30.7 million golf entertainment complex approved more than two years ago by Tennessee officials has yet to break ground on a vacant property north of downtown, despite original plans to open by early 2026 . No building permits have been issued for Knoxville's ShotClub Social, a Topgolf-style venue planned along Interstate 275 off Fifth Avenue, Bryan Berry, the city's deputy director of zoning and development services, told Knox News. The project's developer, New York-based OnCore Golf , has not finalized an agreement for the 11-year property tax incentive the Knoxville City Council approved for the development in 2024. OnCore Golf had a similar facility planned for Buffalo, New York, which has since been relocated, scaled back and delayed. ShotClub Social promised site cleanup and hundreds of jobs ShotClub Social was designed to include golf bays, mini golf, duckpin bowling and an arcade, along with food and drinks. Rebekah Jane Justice, the city's chief of urban design and development, supported the project in 2024. The land cannot be used for housing, she said, so a commercial use is a win-win for the city. The project was expected to create 200-250 jobs, including entry-level positions, in the city's 6th District. Former

Christian school wins Tennessee court case challenging religious charter ban

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly

Mosheim Hits Pause on Data Center Rules as Over 30 Residents Pack Town Hall

Mosheim's Planning Commission hit the brakes on a proposed data-center zoning ordinance Thursday night, voting instead to table the measure while town officials sort out whether a moratorium makes more sense. More than 30 residents packed the small boardroom at Mosheim Town Hall to hear Conor Franklin lay out rules for an industry that, as of now, has no actual project on the table in Mosheim.

Food City Race Against Hunger Funds distributed

Food City in Rogersville made a distribution of $3,500 as part of their annual distributions of $540,000 targeted to support local hunger relief organizations for the holidays. Of One Accord Ministry, which operates food pantries in Rogersville and Church Hill, received this contribution towards making 1,100 Christmas food boxes for a distribution on Saturday, Dec. 19. Of One Accord Ministry is one of the primary hunger relief organizations in Hawkins County, being recently recognized as Second Harvest’s oldest and largest agency. The ministry, founded in 1988, distributes over one million pounds of food a year. Since 1992, Food City has been teaming up with their valued customers to host its annual Race Against Hunger campaign, which raises a significant amount of money for local hunger relief organizations. Food City leaders have been on the forefront to support hunger efforts though Second Harvest partnerships, but the Race Against Hunger funds go directly to the agencies on the front lines doing the work and at a time of the year, extra funds are most needed. 100% of proceeds from “donate at the register” funding goes directly to these agencies serving their communities. Management leaders of Food City’s network of stores understand millions

Rogersville passes ordinance tightly regulating data centers

A contentious issue involving regulation of datacenters in Rogersville was resolved at the Tuesday, Nov. 10 meeting with no consensus, but also without further controversy. In October, the Rogersville Planning Commission and legal advisors drew up a draft ordinance that, while not outright banning what it described as “high-density data centers” within the town limits, places so many regulations and restrictions on them that it would be very difficult to locate one in the town. Mayor John Metz openly supported the ordinance, feeling that it would protect the town from any such establishments and their potential side effects, such as high use of town electric and water resources, and noise pollution. However, since it is not a blanket ban, it will be very difficult for a data center or crypto mining business, either of which would fall in the scope of the ordinance, from mounting a legal challenge. There are many more avenues to challenge a complete ban than tight regulation. Metz also stated last month that at under the existing zoning regulations, Rogersville had no way to keep these businesses out. The ordinance passed its first reading last month by a 4-2 vote. Alderman Todd Biggs still expressed concern

Hydrilla detected in Tellico Lake

LOUDON — An invasive aquatic plant capable of choking waterways and disrupting recreational activities has returned to Tellico Lake, prompting concerns about its spread and efforts to control it. Dozens of Tellico Village residents gathered Thursday, Nov. 12, at the Yacht Club to learn about hydrilla, a fast-growing aquatic plant that can form dense mats of vegetation in lakes and other waterways. Native to parts of Asia, Africa and Australia, hydrilla can crowd out native vegetation, block sunlight and reduce oxygen levels, disrupting aquatic ecosystems. Its dense growth also can interfere with swimming, boating and fishing. David Flanagan, president of the Watershed Association of the Tellico Reservoir (WATeR), showed residents photographs of hydrilla growing in different areas of Tellico Lake. He said geese have been observed feeding on the plant. Flanagan said hydrilla was first detected in the lake in 2023 and has remained a recurring concern. “The first time we saw it was in 2023,” Flanagan said. “It was not as bad last year as it was in the years before when we first spotted it.” Flanagan said he has been in contact with the Tennessee Valley Authority about the problem. Managing the spread Speakers emphasized that managing hydrilla,
