Editing Seymour, Tennessee (section)

=== Unsuccessful attempts to incorporate ===
On multiple occasions, residents have met to discuss the possibility of incorporating as a town or city. The majority of residents have opposed incorporation, arguing it would bring higher taxes and expanded government, while others say that the community would benefit from having a community center, along with sidewalks that might be constructed with the added revenue.<ref>"[http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/2014/01/09/seymour-residents-meet-to-discuss-incorporation/4400465/ Seymour Residents Meet to Discuss Incorporation] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20140111190436/http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/2014/01/09/seymour-residents-meet-to-discuss-incorporation/4400465/ |date=2014-01-11 }}," WBIR.com, January 9, 2014.</ref> Some Blount County residents want their portion of the 37865 [[ZIP Code|zip code]] to be included within the proposed city limits; however the incorporation meeting was geared primarily toward the Sevier County portion of the community.
