After spirited debate, the Chattanooga City Council approved a $3.2 million project to clean up the Moccasin Bend Wastewater Treatment Plant in an attempt to curtail sewer stench downtown and in North Chattanooga.
Not all council members were anxious to spend the money, however.
“Let us not think of this as the panacea to cure all that ails us in the downtown area,” said Councilwoman Deborah Scott.
“We have to consider our alternatives,” agreed Councilman Andraé McGary.
