Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield, in his first State of the City address, told the City Council this evening that his plan to help the homeless will once again put us on the short list of progressive communities.
The city is planning to develop a 9-acre campus of homeless services at the old farmers’ market property on East 11th Street, which the city bought last month for $775,000.
Mr. Littlefield said creativity, compassion and change are the guiding principles that will push Chattanooga forward.
The farmers’ market (project) has all three principles, he said.
Mr. Littlefield said that, in addition to consolidating the city’s homeless services into one area, the campus will include an open market and ample greenspace that should appeal to all Chattanoogans.
He said he will present the second half of his State of the City address next Tuesday.
