KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The City of Knoxville is planning to host a public meeting Wednesday, Dec. 3 to answer questions about the future of Serene Manor.

The meeting will be held at the Knox County Health Department, located at 140 Dameron Avenue. It’ll also be held virtually via Teams , with a link being made available on Dec. 2.
