Downtown Chattanooga
Where else but Downtown could be both your favorite place to do business and to get down to the business of having fun? Come Downtown to find out why it was voted Best Outdoor City (twice!) and Best Place to Work Remotely. Our common ground and gathering place, it’s the one area that truly belongs to all. Simply, Downtown is where Chattanooga… happens.
By working with local government, the private sector and the philanthropic sector, River City Company supported and developed specific projects in Downtown Chattanooga. From the fulfillment of the initial recommendations of the Moccasin Bend Task Force for the development of the Tennessee Riverwalk, to the development of the Tennessee Aquarium, the redevelopment of the Kirkman High School site, fulfillment of the 21st Century Waterfront Plan, the Majestic Theater, The Block and Miller Park, River City Company has been most successful as a public purpose development company. River City Company also plays a major role in the future planning of Downtown Chattanooga along with strategic animation and programming of Downtown spaces.
