History

The Turkey Creek development project started in 1995 when a group of investors and developers who called themselves Turkey Creek Land Partners led by John Turley and Kerry Sprouse paid $7 million to buy of undeveloped land south of the interstate highway. Their project included $30 million of developer-funded infrastructure and other improvements. Publicly funded road and highway improvements in support of the project included widening of the Interstate, reconfiguring the Lovell Road interchange, and local street improvements, at a total cost of $50 million. The city of Knoxville spent about $5 million and Knox County government contributed $1 million to extend Parkside Drive from Lovell Road to Campbell Station Road.
