Hah. I was just getting ready to post about this when I saw yours. Isn't he involved in the Alcoa/Blount/Knox technology/business/office/retail/condo development over on Old Knoxville Highway?
Oh yes.
And a lakefront development out of land taken from people by imminent domain for the creation of Tellico Lake in Friendsville, if I'm not mistaken.

Ross was cited for illegally allowing sediment runoff from Rarity Bay into the lake at Vonore, too. He's a fat cat contributor to Republicans, especially in Blount. He's big buds with the sheriff. That should tell you all you need to know about his integrity.
Take a look at his Rarity Properties "corporate headquarters" on William Blount Drive. Yeah, TVA property has been very, very good to Mr. Ross. It's a shame that property wasn't "good" to those who actually owned it.
