The century-old Chattanooga Theatre Centre is breaking ground on an exciting new project this fall.

A restaurant space is planned for build-out on the plot of land connected to the theater, and the team behind the project is looking for a chef to rent the restaurant space.

Bruce Komiske is the volunteer project executive, and Rodney Van Valkenburg is the executive director of the theater. They met on the property late last December to showcase the designs and outline the proposed plan with the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

The project is slated to finish in the next two years, so folks walking the newly renovated Walnut Street Bridge in 2027 will be able to see the window-lit restaurant space and patio.
