Despite tough economic times across the nation, Chattanooga’s business boom is still volleying loudly, especially in the Hamilton Place area. The Brainerd/East Brainerd Chamber Council is working with other area groups to continue to amplify the level of jobs, quality of life and play in that part of town.
“Collaboration is the key word here,” said Lanny Witt, president of the Brainerd/East Brainerd Chamber Council and principal of Boyd-Buchanan School. “The main focus is bringing the community together to brainstorm.”
He and other members of his Chamber Council are developing strategic plans to target businesses and organizations in the Hamilton Place area.
Although ideas for these plans are not yet concrete, the board expects to have specifics to share with the public this spring.
“The board has realized that there are many groups in the East Brainerd area which have the same goals in mind,” said Tammy Loper, president-elect for the Brainerd/East Brainerd Chamber Council. “We know that joining together will make it so much easier than working as individual groups.”
