The only physician practicing on Lookout Mountain plans to stay on the mountain — despite a proposal that fell through for a new “town center” that was due to house a new doctor’s office.

Family practitioner Dr. Bill Moore Smith plans to build a new office at the corner of Lookout Mountain United Methodist Church at 1300 Lula Lake Road.

“The church … they have voted to sell a piece of that parking lot to build [Smith’s] office there,” said Michael Hubble, superintendent for the Chattanooga District of the Holston Conference of the United Methodist Church.

“I think it’s a win-win,” Hubble said.

The church could use money from the land sale to pay for some needed maintenance, he said.
