Setting the Course 


The Tennessee RiverLine’s 2025–2027 Strategic Plan sets a bold course for impact. Developing the plan was a collaborative effort involving Tennessee RiverLine staff, UT Extension, UT Knoxville, TVA, consultants, RiverTown communities, and many other partners. Our five strategic goals that guide collective efforts and investment are:

  • Develop sustainable internal structures and processes for organizational operations, growth, and governance. 

  • Implement and maintain a dynamic funding strategy for organizational stability and resilience. 

  • Deliver foundational resources, tools, and projects to support the Tennessee RiverLine's success. 

  • Strengthen awareness and engagement with the Tennessee RiverLine’s brand, focusing on its impact and values. 

  • Expand and steward a community of engaged partners, providing a formal partnership structure to ensure authentic and mutually beneficial relationships.
