Public incentives are expected to be responsible for at least a part of the construction of a previously revealed, $300 million, 12,500-seat amphitheater at The Bend site in downtown Chattanooga, Colorado project developer Venu has said.
But no such incentives have been announced or yet planned, state and local officials have said.
Chattanooga area residents have been steeped in, and we believe largely back, public-private partnerships that have developed projects over the years in the area, but we also think there is a limit.
The Tennessee Aquarium, the 21st Century Waterfront and Erlanger Park are just three pivotal downtown developments that have been developed through some measure of a public and private partnership.
Enter the amphitheater.
