The City of Alcoa administrators have been pushing for growth for several years. Recently they have approved new apartment complexes to bring in new residents to already full schools. Roads are barely being maintained. Traffic is growing with no plans for the increases.

The City of Alcoa is once again pursuing non-contiguous annexation. This time on the East side on Wildwood Road near where it intersects with Sam Houston School Road. Two property owners wanted to develop their land and apparently they thought the City of Alcoa gave them the best options. However, the property is not in the city limits of Alcoa. The land does not abut any property in the city limits of Alcoa. That doesn't stop the landowners nor the City of Alcoa. The City of Alcoa will once again annex property not next to existing City of Alcoa city limits. You can tell from the map that the City of Alcoa does this often enough.

During the much-disputed case of the Wildwood Road annexations, the city of Alcoa has maintained that people have a right to their property.

Luckily, the Blount County administrators disagree with this new annexation by the City of Alcoa. According to Tennessee law, Blount County has every right to contest the annexation.

Who in the world can see this is a good idea?
What is the city getting out of this deal?
