Blue Cross land
Airport landWhile Chattanooga and Hamilton County officials look to assemble more industrial park space, two large tracts are already in play as potential sites.
Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport officials said they want to develop a 50-acre site adjacent to its main runway as a business park.
Meanwhile, north of the Tennessee River, the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce is pitching to prospective office or industrial prospects about 210 acres in Lupton City belonging to BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.
City economic development and other officials say that more industrial park space is needed to compete with rival cities in the Southeast and to woo added business.
Only two of the existing seven public industrial parks in Hamilton County have space available. Those sites with uncommitted space, including Enterprise South industrial park, offer less than a total of 140 acres.
