Some Chattanooga leaders would have you believe that Tuesday’s City Council vote will determine how the city grows.
Up or out.
“I hope it’s the beginning of a trend where we start building up,” said Chris Anderson, the city councilman representing the area where a new apartment building is proposed at 1200 Cowart St. – a hotdog-shaped, one-acre piece of land.
Anderson also is a proponent of the seven-story, 140-unit building whose developer is represented by engineer Mike Price. And Price is a host of Anderson’s next campaign fundraiser, a Sunday brunch. Being a host includes a $500 contribution to Anderson’s campaign, according to a conflict-of-interest complaint filed against Anderson last week by local activist Helen Burns Sharp.
Cozy.
