A fourth buyer for the former Harriet Tubman housing site has emerged as the Chattanooga Housing Authority considers bids from potential developers.

However, the Detroit-based developer included so many contingencies in its offer that proposals from Lakewood Realty, a Chicago-based company, and Chattanooga may still be the two front-runners to buy the site.

CHA board members are expected to vote on a buyer at a called board meeting at 9 a.m. today.

“It’s almost over,” CHA Executive Director Betsy McCright said.
