Good morning, Chattanooga and happy St. Patrick’s Day!
On a day that is celebrated with the color green, today’s newsletter will look at a newly finished green space in the area.
While it’s taken a quarter of a century, the South Chickamauga Creek Greenway is all but complete. The trail stretches all the way from Camp Jordan to the Tennessee Riverwalk.
“At best, we could build about 20 feet per day,” says Noel Durant, Tennessee director of the Trust for Public Land, the organization that’s been working with the city since 1996 to establish the greenway.
