In 1999, Solway was proposed by Knox County and Oak Ridge planning officials to be included in a 1,000-acre area inside of Oak Ridge's urban growth boundary, which would have allowed the community to be annexed into the municipal limits of the city of Oak Ridge. However, the proposal was voted down shortly afterwards.^[2]
