Chattanooga has reinvented itself as a technology-forward small metro, anchored by its EPB municipal fiber optic network offering 10-gigabit internet speeds — a distinction that has attracted tech startups and remote workers to the Innovation District downtown. The Southside neighborhood, centered around the former Chattanooga Choo Choo terminal, has become a vibrant mixed-use corridor with boutique hotels, coworking spaces, and restaurants. Volkswagen's assembly plant and the associated supplier park in the Enterprise South Industrial Park have established Chattanooga as a significant automotive manufacturing center, driving industrial demand in the I-75 and I-24 corridors. The Tennessee Riverpark and Lookout Mountain tourism assets support a steady hospitality market that complements the industrial and office sectors.
Key Economic Drivers
- ●Volkswagen Chattanooga assembly plant and its expanding EV production line in the Enterprise South campus

Market Insight
Chattanooga's municipally owned EPB fiber optic network, offering symmetrical 10-gigabit internet speeds, has made the city a pioneer in smart-city infrastructure and has been a significant competitive advantage in attracting tech tenants and startup incubators to the downtown Innovation District.
