Greetings, Chattanooga!
I don’t have to tell you that coronavirus stories are currently dominating our headlines. Even so, the news doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. Amid all this uncertainty, there are still things to feel good about. I, for one, am spending way less money. So, what silver linings have you found? Share your good news with me, no matter how big or small!
And now, today’s top stories:
While the entire Chattanooga region has suddenly found itself with a little more free time than usual, EPB has announced an offer to help customers pass the time while they practice social distancing: free trials.
Good news for those facing economic uncertainty during the coronavirus crisis. Chattanooga utilities are suspending cutoffs and the Federal Housing Administration has stopped mortgage foreclosures.
And, in related news, local judges are seeking to avoid evictions amid the outbreak.
