Has multiple county parks and lakes and also village parks. The two colleges provide interesting cultural offerings. The villages all host and provide venues for festivals and gathering events for families. The local church’s host community events and programs and provide services for the counties less fortunate. Currently there is a housing shortage but it is very affordable in relation to surrounding counties. Local government takes an active role in helping the citizenry with a regional planning and recycling effort. There is no county wide zoning but most townships have some degree of zoning. Most villages have gone through recent revitalization efforts. The local hospital and medical care is good and Knox county is close to larger health care systems in Columbus. The county is not industry heavy but what is here is very robust.
Knox county is a very friendly place. Mostly everyone is nice and willing to talk. There are many restaurants in Mount Vernon, which is a plus. There is not much to do in the Mount Vernon area. Bowling, Golf, and the movies are mostly all one can do. There is very good school sports in Knox county. The competition is outstanding. The atmosphere that is in the buildings is amazing. The only thing I would add is more activities to do with friends and family.
Very cut little shops and restaurants. Tight knit community and many schools. Could use more adventure.
