A logistics company plans to open a corporate headquarters building in downtown Chattanooga in the vicinity of the growing East M.L. King Boulevard corridor, officials said.
The company plans a renovation of the former TVA motor pool building at 412 E. 10th St., where the business is slated to put 60 people, said Lee Helena, who’s representing the site’s landlord.
He declined to name the logistics company because an announcement about its plans hasn’t been made yet. But the company wants work to start to refurbish the building next year and then grow another 20 jobs in Chattanooga within the first year, Helena said.
“It was really drawn to the aesthetics of the existing building,” he said about the brick-and-glass structure that has hundreds of small windows.
Allen Jones of ASA Engineering and Consulting Inc. said officials are working out the specifics of rehabbing the 30,000-square-foot building on the 1.65-acre site that sits directly across 10th Street from the Douglas Heights apartment complex.
