Construction Loans in Chattanooga, TN

Chattanooga sits on the Tennessee/Georgia line and combines a deep manufacturing base, a growing technology sector enabled by the EPB municipal gigabit fiber network (one of the most advanced internet infrastructures in the country), and a tourism economy centered on the Tennessee River, Lookout Mountain, and the city's reinvented downtown. Major employers include Volkswagen Chattanooga (the company's only U.S. assembly plant, currently producing the ID.4 and Atlas), BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee HQ, Unum Group HQ, Erlanger Health System, McKee Foods (Little Debbie), and Amazon. Industrial absorption along I-75, I-24, and I-59 is supported by the metro's logistics position between Atlanta, Nashville, and Knoxville.
