A planned $120 million housing and commercial project, aimed at vastly remaking a large tract off Chattanooga’s East Main Street area, won unanimous approval from city planners on Monday.
The proposed project, called Mill Town and located on 30 acres around the former Standard-Coosa-Thatcher textile plant off Dodds Avenue, now will go before City Council members after winning a rezoning recommendation with conditions.
City Councilman Darrin Ledford, also a member of Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission that endorsed the proposal by Collier Construction, cited the project’s vision amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is a good work effort between the Planning Commission and you all,” he told Bryant Black, who represented the Chattanooga developer.
No one spoke in opposition to the project.
