Knox County Technology Fund
The Knox County Technology and Jobs Fund (KCTJF) was the creation of Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale, CROET and three regional banks: American Fidelity Bank (Greene County), Tennessee State Bank (Pigeon Forge), and SunTrust Bank, N.A. (Knoxville). This fund targets Knox County and 14 counties surrounding it: Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Jefferson, Loudon, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, Sevier, Union, and Scott. The fund provides loan funding to technology and non-technology companies based in disadvantaged areas throughout this 15-county region.
