The Chattanooga Housing Authority presented to the City Council on Tuesday an updated survey of Westside residents, showing a majority want to stay after the Westside Evolves project redevelopment is complete.
The results came after the City Council requested an updated survey in September before going ahead with the project, a $1 billion redevelopment that would replace two public housing complexes on the property — Gateway Tower and College Hill Courts — with mixed-use housing.
Prior to the latest survey, conducted from Sept. 29 to Oct. 10, residents last gave their input on the project in 2020. The housing authority plans to conduct an annual survey going forward.
Of the 89 households at Gateway Tower, 70 responded to the survey. Among the 436 households at College Hill Courts, 317 responded.
