Why Chattanooga

Surrounded by mountains, rivers and lakes, Chattanooga and Hamilton County, Tennessee, offer a little bit of everything – the fastest internet service in the western hemisphere, a thriving innovation business district and a booming downtown along the Tennessee River brimming with shops, dining and history. Being the only city to be awarded Outdoor Magazine’s “Best Town Ever” title twice, the Scenic City always delivers.

Chattanooga is also making history as the first city in North America to be designated a National Park City, a recognition that celebrates our commitment to connecting people with nature and promoting healthier, greener living. This honor underscores our unique balance of urban energy and outdoor accessibility.

Chattanooga blends outdoor lifestyle with business acumen. In fact, Chattanooga’s economic opportunity and outdoor recreation choices allow our companies to draw talent from around the world. This allows us to build a thriving economic base that’s the envy of many larger communities.
