Ed McMahon, the development issues expert, not the professional sidekick, returns to East Tennessee this week with a symposium on sustainable development Thursday at the Knoxville Convention Center.
The event starts at 4 p.m. and is open to the public. I urge you to turn out. McMahon's a great speaker and a font of good information.
Regular KnoxViews readers will recall that McMahon spoke about development last year in Blount County, an event covered extensively by Randy here and here.

Thanks for the post, Nelle.
Thanks for the post, Nelle. Saw this in the paper and almost forgot. I highly recommend this program. It's a real eye-opener. McMahon has lots of real life case studies and knows his stuff.
