Hamilton County Commission Chairman Fred Skillern confirmed today that the county is in talks with a business that will bring a number close to that amount. He said the company, which he said is Internet-based, will bring in 1,000 full-time jobs and said other jobs that will be “seasonal.”
“What I have heard, none of it is official,” Skillern said. “Let me make it real clear, I have not met with any of those people.”
Skillern said the company was attracted to Chattanooga in part because of the nearby Erlanger campus. At the end of Wednesday’s County Commission meeting, Mayor Claude Ramsey refused to divulge details about the project, but acknowledged the county is courting a business.
