A proposed development could bring mixed-income apartments to North Chattanooga.

Developers with plans to build on 6 acres on Dallas Road say they plan to seek a tax deal with the city that would allow them to keep around 20% to 30% of the rental units affordable.

On Monday night, developers Courtney and Steen Watson presented their plans to North Chattanooga residents, fielding questions about how the development could affect traffic, water runoff and safety in the area.

“As we all know, housing has become very cost burdensome,” Courtney Watson told residents Monday. “And there’s just not enough growth happening. We’re hopeful that something like this could contribute.”
