Growth Management Planning

[Back To Top]

• Thorough and ongoing study and analysis will help us effectively plan for growth.
• One Knox and the Lincoln Trail Area Development District have undertaken a series of studies.
• Using input from the studies, we have compiled a comprehensive listing of budget requirements for schools, job training, infrastructure, health care and transportation needs.

Completed Studies

Labor Study

• Identified gaps in regional workforce (1400 potential high-skilled/high-wage job openings)
• Is being used to develop strategies for addressing economic and workforce supply and demand issues resulting from the BRAC.
• See slide show of final findings (Download PDF File)

Regional Economic Impact Analysis

• Developed projections of how the newly created job opportunities including wages and benefits will impact the regional economy:
• Wages - more than $322 million in new payroll from new direct jobs, construction activities and spinoff jobs
• It is estimated that for every two jobs new on post, one will be created off post
• A sustained 40% increase in state and local tax revenues
• Projected annual state tax revenue generated post-BRAC from Fort Knox operations approx. $75 million

Housing Market Analysis

• Assessed the kinds of new housing that will be needed to support expected growth
• Single-family housing stock in the region should be sufficient to meet the demands of relocating personnel and new home buyers to the region
• Region will need to accommodate 800-1000 new renters by 2012

Health and Support Services Study

• Studied potential gaps, due to Fort Knox expansion, in medical and support resources for counties surrounding Fort Knox:
  • Need for additional physicians in multiple specialties was found when reliance on Jefferson County providers was excluded.
  • Provider resistance to Tri-Care participation is a barrier across multiple services.
  • Expanded mental health services and access will likely be required.
