(aired Mon 10/11/21)

Chattanooga is known as “Freight Alley” - as we’ve been reminded during the pandemic, from supply chains disruptions to gas prices.

Thrive Regional Partnership and Georgia Tech are developing a new research hub to better understand freight capacity and multi-modal transportation across the tri-state area, so governments and businesses can make better decisions on infrastructure.

Connie Vaughan - government relations manager for McKee Foods - chairs Thrive Regional Partnership.

Shannon Milsaps is the director of operations for Thrive.
