The Chattanooga City Council
and a group of people living on the Westside are upset about how Mayor Ron
Littlefield's office handled communication regarding a meeting. On January 31st
we told you about Purpose Built Communities and how Chattanooga Mayor Ron
Littlefield wants to bring the initiative here. It's an entire community
redevelopment plan that moves out residents in low-income communities, levels
the area then rebuilds it as a mixed income neighborhood. Tuesday, as promised,
the mayor held a follow up meeting about the plan with the Westside. It's one
of the main areas they're looking at for this project. But the city council had
no idea this meeting was going on, and neither did a large group of Westside
neighbors.
