| Formerly an industrial town, Chattanooga has made a transition to an economy combining services and manufacturing. The city's transformation from a sleepy Southern town with heavy pollution to a vibrant city with a slew of environmental awards to its credit has brought the town worldwide attention.
U.S. News & World Report designated Chattanooga "One of Six Cities That Work," and Family Fun named Chattanooga a "Top 10 Family-Friendly City."
Community leaders and private citizens joined together in recent years to raise millions of dollars to engineer the Chattanooga renaissance. The progress generated by private and public partnerships, the quality of life and the abundance of natural beauty make Chattanooga a great place to start, expand or relocate a business.
A study done recently highlighted a few of Chattanooga’s key assets:
- A mid-sized community large enough to support a diversified economy with a strong base of support services.
