KIMBALL, Tenn. — Chattanooga State’s bid for $10 million in federal stimulus money to build the initial phase of a satellite campus in Marion County has failed.
According to the plan, Chattanooga State Community College would buy 40 of the nearly 150 acres the county has set aside for the project on a former horse farm between Kimball and Jasper along U.S. Highway 41. Two buildings would be built to accommodate a transfer program and a building trades program, while the county still would own about 100 acres of the surrounding property for future expansion.
