The city of Knoxville is considering  digitizing books, records and maps related to Graceland Cemetery. What is currently being used is rather old and tough to read.

Knoxville City Manager Heather Ussery said the proposed cost for purchasing the software for  the project would cost around $21,000. The proposal would be to pay for half of the costs this fiscal year and the rest in fiscal year 2024.

Currently the council is listening to department heads for needs for the next fiscal year. City Parks and Rec Director Brandon Nemmers made the presentation on behalf of the cemetery.
