WHAT’S NEXTWestside residents and Chattanooga Organized for Action will meet at 6 p.m. today at Renaissance Presbyterian Church, 1211 Boynton Drive. The meeting will feature a documentary on the right to housing called “More than a Roof” and will be followed by a discussion on the state of housing in Chattanooga.
Westside residents attending a meeting of the Chattanooga City Council’s Housing Committee thought they were going to comment on a proposed plan that could put a new, mixed-use community in their neighborhood.
That didn’t happen.
Nearly all of the audience seats were full at the Tuesday meeting, but no residents were allowed to speak.
“This is a farce,” Landon Donard of Chattanooga Organized for Action yelled during the meeting. “We told you we were coming.”
