DYK the Tennessee Riverwalk is turning the big 3-0 this year? 🥳 As a city built around our river, the renaissance of Chattanooga over the last 30 years has involved significant investment in the Riverfront.

Landmark projects in the Riverfront District include the Tennessee Riverwalk, AT&T Field, the Tennessee Aquarium, the Creative Discovery Museum, the 21st Century Waterfront Park + more. These investments have anchored the tourism + hospitality industry, spurred signature annual events, and become fixtures of the image of Chattanooga.

Though Nooga has made significant strides in reinvigorating its Riverfront + downtown core, the Riverfront District has grappled with the challenges of aging infrastructure + amenities, single-mode roadway design, and an imbalance of tourist vs. local activity. While the Riverfront is a destination for visitors to Chattanooga, it should first and foremost serve its locals.

Enter: The Riverfront District Master Plan – ONE Riverfront – which aims to:

Reconnect the Riverfront to the city’s neighboring downtown areas
Advance the activation of the Riverfront park system
Develop a greater sense of place through unique development, streetscape + public realm improvements and branding
Guide opportunities that complement greater downtown Chattanooga while improving the experience + function of unique users of the Riverfront District
Define the role of the district, creating a place that serves all Chattanoogans + the district’s strong tourism industry
And gather community input from direct stakeholders and local residents

That’s where we come in. What do you want to see go into the Riverfront area?
