...a new Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) has been approved in South Knoxville.

"The new treatment center will be located in the Chapman Square Shopping Center across the Henley Street Bridge in South Knoxville."

I like that, "across the Henley Street Bridge". The proposed site is nearly 2 miles from the bridge.

Also, the proposed site is in the only decent shopping center in South Knoxville. It includes the only decent grocery store in South Knoxville.

"...the location for the OTP was chosen after consulting with community leaders and those who currently work to help people struggling with addiction. They discovered that there was a significant need in South Knoxville across the bridge,..."

Again with the, "across the bridge." What's that about?

If you look at all the other 6 treatment locations of this company, none are in a popular shopping center with a major grocery store.
