The city of Knoxville is one of four communities chosen by Governor Kim Reynolds to receive workforce housing tax credits to develop new housing opportunities locally.

Origin Homes will develop the land formerly occupied by the VA hospital to construct five single-family, owner-occupied homes in an area near trails and parks that also includes a splash pad. 

The Workforce Housing Tax Credit program has a focus on projects that redevelop abandoned, empty,  or dilapidated properties.
