LaCroix’s new initiative to reach constituents
As Alderman Joe LaCroix begins his term in office, he has started a new initiative to reach out to constituents.
“I’ve had several conversations with residents regarding transparency and communication,” he announced during Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting Thursday, Nov. 13. “As a new alderman on the Board, to bridge that gap, I would like to hold what I call office hours.
“What I’m going to do, between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m., Wednesdays prior to the
Board meetings on Thursdays, I’m going to be meeting here in the Town Hall,” he said. “It’s open to any of the South Ward constituents to come in and speak. I’ll talk to anybody, but I’m really focused on the South Ward.
“That will be in the Conference Room, across from the Knox County Clerk’s office,” LaCroix said. “These meetings are really designed to
give residents an opportunity to discuss items that are on
the agenda that are coming out the next day, then any other items they would like to discuss.
“I would also like to invite my South Ward peer, Alderman (Drew) Burnette, to
come to these meetings,” he said. “He did a great job
setting up the Sugarwood meeting.”
The times and dates for those office hour meetings are from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., Dec. 10, Jan. 7 and 21, Feb. 11 and
25 and March 11 and 25. LaCroix advised residents to
come in before 5 p.m. because the doors may be locked after 5 p.m.
He can be reached at
865-218-3393, leave a voice mail and he will return the call or by e-mailing elacroix@
