Chattanooga Gas recently donated $15,000 to City Fields, a community development corporation leading efforts to revitalize Blythe Oldfield, a historic but sometimes overlooked neighborhood in Cleveland, Tennessee.
City Fields’ mission is to cultivate healthy neighborhoods in collaboration with residents through physical and social revitalization, economic development, safety initiatives and leadership development. This includes purchasing and renovating residential properties to offer affordable housing to local residents.
Blythe Oldfield is located in a former industrial section of Cleveland known to many as the neighborhood that built the city. City Fields is helping restore the neighborhood.
The donation from Chattanooga Gas will equip homes renovated this year with natural gas furnaces and water heaters. This is the second donation Chattanooga Gas has made since partnering with City Fields. The first donation brought natural gas appliances to homes renovated in 2020.
