The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission is slated to take up a zoning change request for the site on Nov. 12.
A 92-year-old history-filled structure that sits on a major gateway into downtown Chattanooga could soon see new life.
The four-story building at Fourth and Market streets, which was part of the old Newton Chevrolet dealership, may house new offices, retail space and a restaurant.
Hutton Co., a Chattanooga-based real estate developer and construction firm, has the 60,000-square-foot building under contract and is doing a feasibility study, said company President Geoff Smith.
“If it turns out to be economically feasible, we’d love to have the top floor of the building,” said Smith.
