The Ooltewah-Collegedale Council of the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce wants to know what its friends and neighbors think about local economic development.
A special committee from that council has organized a general assembly meeting that will give area residents and business owners the opportunity to ask questions, raise concerns and find out more about local economic development issues.
The open meeting is Thursday, Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. in Collegedale’s Municipal Building, located at 4910 Swinyar Drive.
“The Chamber is doing this for the benefit of the community,” said event moderator Joshua Michalski. “We want it to be a positive and solutions-oriented discussion, not just an opportunity to identify problems for the sake of identifying problems.”
The moderated forum will give people the opportunity to ask local panelists questions about issues related to economic development. Those questions not related to economic development will not be answered, said Michalski.
