Local governments appointed the Moccasin Bend Task Force in 1982 to lead the community in an inclusive planning process to outline future development plans for the 22-mile river corridor between the Chickamauga Dam and the Marion County line.
Funded by the Lyndhurst Foundation, city and county, the three-year process produced the Tennessee Riverpark Master Plan, a visionary 25-year plan to reconnect with this great river. In doing so, the city made over its image, found new sources of pride for its citizens, and fueled the engine for central economic development.
The Tennessee Riverpark is a necklace of recreation, historical exhibits, new housing, museums, working industry, hotels, shopping and tourist attractions along the banks of the magnificent Tennessee River. It was designed to delight both residents and tourists and to make the river the central focus of Chattanooga’s future development. |
