Chattanooga is growing. So is the rest of Hamilton County.
How should we plan for future growth and development - for neighborhoods, housing, transportation, infrastructure, businesses, parks, rural areas?
The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency is now leading parallel initiatives with community input to create detailed area plans across the map.
One process, Plan Chattanooga, covers the city - and the other, Plan Hamilton, covers other areas across the county.
Dan Reuter is the RPA’s executive director.
