Why Chattanooga
Not so long ago, the people in an average southern town dreamed big about becoming the best mid-sized city in America. But they didn’t just dream. They formed a culture of public-private cooperation that transformed Chattanooga into a national model in areas ranging from job creation to environmental stewardship.
They built the largest freshwater aquarium in the world. They launched a free electric shuttle service that carries one million riders a year. They transformed the Tennessee Riverfront with green spaces, public art and an 11-mile riverwalk.
Now, they’ve built the first Gig Internet in the U.S. over a 100% fiber network that links every home and business in a 600-square-mile area.
Somewhere along the way, their remarkable community spirit came to be known as Chattanooga CAN DO, and they began to apply the same approach to creating an incredibly business-friendly environment.
Just ask homegrown companies like Unum, McKee and U.S. Xpress or international companies like Volkswagen, Alstom and Amazon.com that chose Chattanooga after searching America for the best place to live.
