A state appeals court has ruled Chattanooga will have to pay for renovation of the Passage.
The courts opinion was filed today. The court also ruled the city would have to pay court costs.
The city filed a lawsuit in 2009 against project overseer River City Co., designer Hargreaves Associates and contractor Continental Construction Co. to recoup the costs. The three entities filed countersuits.
A judge threw out the lawsuit early last year, saying the city filed the suit beyond the statute of limitations.
