Up to four restaurant concepts along with second-floor apartments could go into a new East Main Street project to rise near the burgeoning Chattanooga residential complex known as Mill Town.

The proposed new structure joins a handful of other new investments underway on the East Main corridor that’s ushering in change to that part of the city.

“It’s moving up Main Street,” Jerri Price, of Spot Design Studio, said by phone about the new construction. “It’s ripe for development.”

While the planned project at 2401 E. Main St. is expected to bring multiple food concepts, the site will not be a food hall, she said.
