Developer to file revamped Hixson plan

photo Developer Duane Horton, left, president of Scenic Land Co., explains details during a public meeting on a major Hixson development off Highway 153, held in the Hixson Community Center at the former Hixson Middle School gymnasium Thursday night.

WHAT’S NEXTA community meeting on the proposed Chattanooga Village project will be Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. at the North River Civic Center, 1009 Executive Drive, Suite 102.

In the wake of criticism from environmental and neighborhood groups, a Chattanooga developer today was expected to file a revamped plan for a $100 million Hixson apartment and commercial project.

“We’ve taken a strategic approach to address the concerns, meet zoning requirements and provide an outstanding project,” said Duane Horton of Scenic Land Co.

Horton said he hopes the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission can hear the revised proposal in December for his project dubbed “Chattanooga Village.”

But one critic of the developer’s plan called the changes “cosmetic.”
