An 80-acre site near the Volkswagen plant that officials have said could hold a second supplier park is being prepped for development.
Hamilton County is seeking a state permit to enable work on the parcel, which is the biggest undeveloped tract available at Enterprise South industrial park.
The permit application envisions construction of a 23-acre facility, which is about double the two buildings on the existing VW supplier park nearby.
An economic developer said building isn’t starting on the site, which is near Volkswagen and Bonny Oaks drives, but they’re readying it for later.
J.Ed. Marston, the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce’s vice president of marketing, said the proposed facility is a box drawn on a piece of paper at this point.
