Countdown to Trader Joe’s: T-minus 1 day.

While we’re sure none of you actually needed that reminder, Trader Joe’s is only 1 of the many major developments in Chattanooga, and we’ll be honest — it can be hard to keep up with all them, especially when some are years in the making.

To make it a bit easier, we’ve rounded up some of the top local developments in the works.

The Bend

The Bend is another riverfront development project that will encompass the area surrounding the former Alstom industrial site (aka, the place you likely visited if you got tested for COVID-19). The development aims to be a walkable, urban neighborhood, but we’ll let this video do the talking.
