Maryville officials confirmed the update this week, saying it reflects months of planning and public input from residents across the area.
"It's a big step forward for Maryville, and it wouldn't have happened without a lot of people pulling in the same direction," said Andrew Miller, deputy mayor.
Planning documents reviewed by the Tennessee Tribune show the project is expected to cost roughly $3.7 million, with work phased in over the next 3 to 4 years. Local leaders say the timeline could shift depending on funding and weather.
"It took teamwork, but we got there." — Andrew Miller
