Air Quality Alerts
Blount County, as well as East Tennessee, have been designated by the EPA as a non-attainment area for both ozone and fine particulate matter. This designation makes it more difficult to attract new business and for existing business to expand. Chamber Members can now be alerted to air quality action days and learn what steps should be taken to reduce air pollution. To sign-up for Air Quality Alerts, contact Vicky Jones at vjones@blountchamber.com .
