Zoo Knoxville’s Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Campus (ARC) opened early this month after an extensive $18 million, 2.5-acre expansion dedicated specifically to reptiles and amphibians. The ARC now features 85 species of reptiles and amphibians, including 38 endangered reptile and amphibian species.
“It is unlike any experience we have been able to offer our guests before,” CEO and President Lisa New said in a statement released by the zoo. “The entire building is immersive you are close to the animals, you can see our herpetologists at work, you can feel the climate changes in the Conservatory and Greenhouse and you can use the dynamic interactives to appreciate these incredible animals.”

The U.S. Small Business Administration fixed a technical glitch and applications will soon reopen for its Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program.
The relief program is offering $16.2 billion on a first-come, first-served basis for operators of live venues, live performing arts organizations, museums and movie theatres, as well as live venue promoters, theatrical producers and talent representatives.
Those eligible entities are some of the first that had to shut their doors a year ago in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While some were eligible for Paycheck Protection Program loans, the SVOG program is one of the first relief sources that is tailored specifically to venues and entertainment operators.
