Former Knoxville mayor Harv Sprafka is pointing out that Knoxville has a lot more to offer than meets the eye.

Sprakfka started Local Business Spotlight to show people what the community has to offer. The Local Business Spotlight can be found on Facebook at How Can We Help Knoxville?

 Sprafka tells KNIA/KRLS News about why he started the Business Spotlight, “One guy said there’s no businesses in town. I just said there are. Don’t go in any of these store fronts and tell them they aren’t a business, because they are. And he said I don’t think there is anything around here. I said I’ll show you. I thought when I started there would  be about 40  businesses, when I finished up there was 53. Since then a couple of places have come in and additions that I have covered. Overall I have called on 135 businesses.”

Sprafka’s page has only been in action since June, and he said there are more businesses to contact. He wants to get background on the businesses and get their goals and much more.
