About 100 people showed up at a boisterous meeting in Ooltewah over a developer’s plan to build nearly 300 new homes as tensions rise between filling housing needs and curbing growth in the area.
“That’s too many,” said Jill Crouch, who lives near Bell Mill Road, where GreenTech Homes is seeking to build on a 102-acre tract, at the meeting. “We don’t need that traffic.”
The meeting was Thursday at Wallace A. Smith Elementary School.
GreenTech is asking the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission to rezone the vacant parcel at 8209 Bell Mill Road, which sits off of busy Hunter Road.
