Planners are aiming for late spring or early summer to finally unveil a road map to re-energize downtown Chattanooga’s waterfront after the effort was delayed due to the pandemic.

Next month, the ONE Riverfront initiative will hold a series of online roundtable meetings to share ideas expressed so far to boost the waterfront district and to hear feedback.

Emily Mack, president and CEO of River City Co., said the goal of ONE Riverfront is to develop a greater sense of a place for Chattanoogans to connect and enjoy through programming and activation.

“We have heard many great ideas so far and want to continue the conversation to further explore all that is possible for the space,” she said.

Four sessions that will include the same material and information are set. March 2 sessions will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. On March 4, sessions will be from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
