An improved stretch of the Rossville Boulevard corridor.

Rossville Boulevard begins south of downtown Chattanooga - and continues to the Tennessee-Georgia state line.

The BLVD Project is a grassroots effort - working under the nonprofit ELLA Library - that seeks to build a thriving community for residents and businesses along the more than two miles of the Rossville Boulevard corridor.

The Project’s directors are Heather Herweyer - and Jazmine LeBlanc, executive director and co-founder of ELLA Library.
