Bank Continues Long-Term Focus on Commitment to

Customers, Community, and Core Values

First Horizon Bank has been a part of Chattanooga’s fabric for more than 120 years. First opening its doors as Hamilton National Bank in 1905, later becoming First Tennessee in 1976, the bank is now First Horizon with a growing footprint across twelve states. The additional locations have provided growth in the geographic foot-print, which provides even more accessibility to its clients.

Locally, the bank has more than quadrupled its deposits in Chattanooga since 1976 to more than $2.8 billion with the largest market share and has implemented significant efforts that focus on efficiencies and technology to meet the needs of an ever-changing customer base. However, one thing that hasn’t changed is the bank’s commitment to understanding the people and places it serves.

Chattanooga market president Jay Dale notes, “We take great pride in a company culture that breeds success for our customers, our team members, and the community we serve. In many instances, we’re banking the third or fourth generations of families who’ve come to depend on First Horizon to meet their financial needs. We believe that equips us to understand our clients in a unique way.”

The needs of our community continue to change, but what hasn’t changed is our focus on the importance of seeing those we serve as individuals with very personal plans for their future. That’s

what has set us apart in Chattanooga and what sets us apart across our footprint.”

First Horizon takes great pride in the role they play within the community as one of Chattanooga’s most philanthropic corporate citizens. From Erlanger Hospital’s Believe Bash to the Dinner of Firsts to support Chattanooga State Community College to the

Current First Horizon Building

Jay Dale Market President, Southeast Tennessee

Tennessee Aquarium’s Serve and Protect Dinner to the annual Grateful Gobbler walk on Thanksgiving Day, employees of First Horizon are active supporters of non-profit organizations that make a tremendous impact in the community.

The First Horizon Pavilion is also the gathering place for Chattanoogans from the months of May through November at the weekly Chattanooga Market. Visitors and art enthusiasts from around the region enjoy the annual 4 Bridges Arts Festival that marks the beginning of the spring season each April at the pavilion.

With approximately 400 banks sharing the First Horizon brand, clients and communities are seeing the benefit from products, services, and core values that are shared wherever they go. In Chattanooga,

there are 15 banking centers with convenient banking hours. In addition, online banking provides another layer of accessibility for customers.

“Whether our clients are in Chattanooga, Key West, online, or somewhere in between, they know they can always count on our bank to meet their needs,” says Dale. “Understanding the needs of our clients has been a hallmark of First Horizon since Day One. We believe that the future is bright for our customers, our team members, and the communities we serve. Our mission and commitment to client service and to the community we all call home is still our highest priority.”

Welcome to Chattanooga! Whether visiting or relocating, Chattanooga offers a businessfriendly environment, unparalleled outdoor pursuits, lower cost of living, and welcoming neighbors. In fact, U.S. News & World Report named Chattanooga “The Best Place to Live in Tennessee,” while Southern Living ranked Chattanooga as one of “The South’s Best Cities.” Regardless of what brought you here, you’ve made a great choice! If in town for business, you’re among good company. With the world’s fastest internet, access to rail, water, and major highways, and business-friendly policies, opportunities for entrepreneurs and companies abound. In 2024, CNBC ranked Tennessee No.8 in its annual “America’s Top States for Business,” and Business Facilities ranked Tennessee No.5 for “Best Business Climate.” 2024 was another successful year for the Chattanooga business community, and the

family vacation, night out, or just to get away!

future continues to look bright. The 2024 Economic Report to the Governor of the State of Tennessee predicts the state’s real GDP will grow by 2.03% in 2025 with over 37,000 jobs added. The tax climate continues to be favorable with Tennessee’s tax system ranked 8th overall on the 2025 State Tax Competitiveness Index. Dubbed as “Freight Alley” and “The Gateway to the South,” Chattanooga’s proximity to major highways and cities and its businessoriented government make it appealing for logistics and manufacturing companies.

With the help of EPB’s high-speed, 25-gig internet and America’s first commercially available quantum network, Chattanooga continues to attract startups as well as U.S. and international companies. Among others, Avail Enclosure Systems is looking to expand with a $10 million investment in its Chattanooga facility while battery material maker Novonix is poised to provide a minimum of 86,250 metric tons of synthetic graphite from Chattanooga’s Riverside plant following a $100 million grant.

Business aside, Chattanooga continuesto see an influx of new residents. The 2025 estimated growth rate for Hamilton County is 1.37%, and in 2024, it was the 4th largest county in Tennessee. Not surprisingly, WorldAtlas ranked Chattanooga one of “The 8 Most Charming Cities in the Appalachians,” and our city was named one of “The Best Places to Retire in Tennessee” by Travel + Leisure … and all for good reason! Chattanooga boasts a high qualityof life, lower cost of living, and endless familyfriendly activities. The cost of living in Chattanooga is 10% lower than the national average thanks to low property taxes, no state income taxes, and housing costs falling below the national average.

Adding to the appeal of our city, residents and visitors alike enjoy upscale shopping destinations, diverse arts and cultural

experiences, exceptional healthcare, and award-winning senior care facilities.

When it comes to dining, Chattanooga boasts a diverse and exquisite culinary scene. You can find the city itself ranking on lists like Condé Nast Traveler’s “The Best Food Cities in the U.S.,” while other individual entities can be seen on lists like “The Best Bread,” “The South’s Best Breweries,” and “The Best Coffee Shop in the State.”

Fittingly called the Scenic City, a major draw when choosing Chattanooga is the beautiful landscape and diverse outdoor adventures. There is no shortage of recreational opportunities, with hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, rowing, fishing, and boating among the top pursuits. More than 50 trailheads can be accessed within 30 minutes of the heart of the city, while several state parks, offering mountain terrain, waterways, caves, and canyons, are just a short drive away. Plus, the 16-mile Riverwalk, a walking path stretching along the Tennessee River from St. Elmo through downtown Chattanooga, can be found in the middle of the city. Also of note are the top-notch familyfriendly attractions. Tennessee welcomed over 144 million visitors in 2023 with Chattanooga alone hosting over 15 million visitors annually. Naturally, Condé Nast Traveler named Chattanooga the “Friendliest City in the U.S.” while TravelPulse noted our town as one of the “Top 10 Underrated US Cities to Visit This Summer.”

Business

Chattanooga has attracted an influx of growth over recent years, and when looking at all the area has to offer, it’s easy to see why. Business leaders looking to invest in the region will find a favorable tax climate, acclaimed high-speed internet services, the most resilient smart grid in the nation, and stunning natural beauty. The Scenic City is great for business.

In a recent study, SmartAsset ranked Chattanooga among its top 20 cities for best job markets in terms of potential growth, affordability, remote work, commute time, employment rates, and health insurance benefits.

City officials and organizations are taking major strides to strengthen Chattanooga’s economy and boost job growth, reflected in part by low unemployment rates – which dropped to a historic low in April 2024 at 2.5%.

Manufacturing has long been the cornerstone of Chattanooga industry and continues to be a catalyst for economic growth. Last year, tire manufacturer powerhouse Nokian Tyres wrapped up a five-year ramp-up plan, which saw the Dayton plant grow from a 60-member launch team to a 500-colleague workforce. The tire maker has invested a half-billion dollars in this plant since breaking ground in 2017, including the addition of a state-of-the-art, 350,000-square-foot finished goods warehouse. Avail Enclosure Systems is also looking to expand with a $10 million investment in its Chattanooga facility and 82 additional jobs. Following a $100 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, battery material maker

DID YOU KNOW?

In 2024, business development nonprofit LAUNCH Chattanooga garnered global recognition from the International Business Innovation Association. LAUNCH was awarded Entrepreneur Support Organization of the Year and the Julius Morgan Diversity and Inclusion Award.

Novonix is poised in a six-year agreement with Stellantis to provide a minimum of 86,250 metric tons of synthetic graphite from Chattanooga’s Riverside plant, making this facility the first large-scale synthetic graphite producer for the battery sector in North America.

Another boon in the region comes from SK Food Group, whose investment of $205 million in a factory plant in nearby Cleveland aims to generate 840 jobs by 2030. This initiative is in collaboration with the Partnerships in Industry and Education (PIE) Innovation Center, which serves Bradley, Hamilton, and surrounding counties as an educational and industrial training facility.

Looking to the future of job growth in the area, officials are continuing to improve access to Chattanooga via the addition of nonstop flights to Chattanooga Airport (CHA) as well as a $28 million terminal expansion completed in 2024. After a furlough following the pandemic, Delta Air Lines resumed nonstop service from CHA to New York City. This is in addition to the 10 cities and eight major hubs available to Chattanoogans through direct flights, making it easier than ever to connect across the country. Establishing connection across the city is EPB Fiber Optics, which just celebrated 15 years of delivering the world’s fastest community-wide internet. The quantum network in conjunction with the organization’s 25-gig internet service is a key component in attracting tech and data companies to Chattanooga, and it also plays a role in enticing the remote workforce to relocate to the Scenic City. In fact, TechNational ranked Chattanooga as the second-best city in the nation for remote work, listing internet connectivity among other enticements like coworking spaces, affordability, favorable tax rates, and public safety.

Ranked in the top 10 on CNBC’s list of “America’s Top States for Business in 2024,” Tennessee has seen an increased demand for a talented workforce to meet the needs of the rapidly developing region. City and county governments, educational institutions, community partners, and private investors continue to join forces on workforce initiatives to provide resources for job seekers and employers alike.

Chattanooga boasts a talented, dynamic workforce, and regional leaders are committed to supporting career development and growth for Chattanooga residents. In 2023, Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly joined the Tennessee State Workforce Development Board, which represents a diverse group of business, government, and education representatives. At the national level, Chattanooga was selected to participate in Good Jobs, Great Cities Academy, an initiative throughout 2023 and 2024 led by the National League of Cities and the U.S. Department of Labor to support greater pathways for worker education.

Multiple large-scale projects are currently underway to revitalize downtown Chattanooga and increase its residential and commercial offerings. In 2024, development project

The Bend broke ground in Chattanooga’s Westside neighborhood, with plans to create a mixed-use site that will drive growth along the riverfront and, as part of the larger One Westside plan, attract over $1 billion in new development. Over the next 10 years, The Bend is slated to bring 1 million square feet of commercial space, 500 hotel rooms, 1,200 housing units, and more to the Westside.

Other projects have breathed new life into historic downtown landmarks, such as the 2023, $19 million renovation of the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo, rebranded as The Hotel Chalet. That same year, work began on converting the nearly-century-old Chattanooga Bank Building into a 148-room Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotel, with completion anticipated this year.

More hotels are in the works. Soon to be welcoming visitors to the Southside neighborhood is a 123-room Hyatt hotel developed by 3H Group, which broke ground last April. Work continues on a 184-room Embassy Suites in downtown – one of the largest new investments in downtown in over a decade. Its developer, Vision Hospitality, also plans to construct a $40 million, 135-room AC Hotel by Marriott at Broad and Main streets. Hotels continue to be built near commercial hub Hamilton Place Mall in East Brainerd, including the completion of a Candlewood Suites and Drury Plaza Hotel last year.

The relocation of the Chattanooga Lookouts stadium, which broke ground last July, has been a catalyst for commercial development. The new South Broad site is projected to attract around $1 billion in new development, with proposals for future construction including mixed-use buildings, apartments, and office space.

In Ooltewah, the Cambridge Square shopping center continues to expand. Last April, the complex constructed a new two-story building and added seven new outlets to its growing lineup of retail and office spaces. Over in East Ridge, a 13-acre shopping center is slated to be redeveloped into a mixed-use site with retail and office space. Additionally, a recent proposal would bring up to $800 million in new housing and retail to East Chattanooga.

Also evolving is the industrial sector. Urban Story Ventures has begun construction on a $28 million industrial complex in the Centre South Riverport Industrial Park along the Tennessee River,

with plans to open the facility for occupancy this year. Nearby, the developer also plans to redevelop a 10-acre manufacturing site on Amnicola Highway for commercial and industrial use.

Meanwhile, Hixson’s new North River Commerce Center –the city’s biggest new industrial park in over a decade – added its second industrial building, part of a $102 million development. Across the Tennessee-Georgia border, the new Cloud Springs I-75 Park is poised to support further industrial growth in the region.

Another burgeoning sector is multi-family housing, with projects across the metro area adding thousands of apartments and condo units. These include a $17 million complex in the Southside, featuring 32 condos and ground-floor commercial space, and The Mill Town development, which involves 1,000 townhomes and apartments to be built over the next four years in and around the old Standard-Coosa-Thatcher Mills building. A 230-unit apartment project in the Westside is also moving forward and would be the first phase in the Westside Evolves plan, which hopes to bring up to 1,700 housing units to the neighborhood. Additional plans would add 344 units in East Brainerd; 621 units on Riverfront Parkway; 236 units in Ooltewah; 336 units in Brainerd; and 100 new condos and townhomes in the Southside.

Together these developments support the region’s growth and aim to enrich the lives of residents and visitors alike.

Regions Bank opened a new location in Hixson, described as one of the most modern Regions locations in Tennessee.

Transportation

Traveling in and around the Scenic City is made convenient by the city’s prime location and natural features. From major interstate systems to thriving waterways, Chattanooga maintains a strong commitment to providing efficient and accessible transportation options for all.

River transportation has flourished along the Tennessee River and its tributaries for as long as people have settled in the Tennessee Valley. Today, commercial navigation of the waterways continues to save hundreds of millions of dollars in transportation costs by transporting over 50 million tons of goods every year, according to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

Similarly known as one of Chattanooga’s oldest transportation systems, the railways have a rich history of supporting the local economy. The first rail line, the Western and Atlantic Railroad, was completed in 1850 and made way for the commercial rail transportation of today. Currently, several companies such as Norfolk Southern and CSX carry freight through the city each day.

DID YOU KNOW?

Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport’s 2024 expansion cost about $28 million and added a new business center, restaurant, restrooms, updated furniture, and more parking in addition to a brand-new concourse and renovated TSA security screening area.

On top of its river location and prime railways, Chattanooga is also known as “Freight Alley” and “the Silicon Valley of trucking” for its proximity to major interstate systems. Its optimal position at the convergence of I-75, I-59, and I-24 make it an attractive base for trucking companies, including Covenant Logistics and U.S. Xpress. Third party logistics companies also thrive here, with familiar names such as Kenco Logistics, Coyote Logistics, LogistiX, Trident Transport, and Steam Logistics.

Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA) continues to see impressive growth while receiving recognition for its commitment to sustainability. The airport’s most recent expansion officially opened in March of 2024, adding 26,000 square feet for two new gates, more efficient boarding and deplaning, restrooms, concessions, and more. In addition to previously established nonstop flights to major hubs such as Charlotte, Dallas, and Atlanta, CHA began

Bolstering Chattanooga’s transportation systems on the ground is the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA). Operating one of the largest fleets of electrical buses in the country, CARTA runs 15 fixed bus routes and manages the free Downtown Electric Shuttle system. With new funding awarded by the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) in 2024, CARTA continues to uphold its innovative legacy with plans to explore options for a high capacity transit corridor along Brainerd Road/Lee Highway starting in 2025.

Another sustainable and costeffective option is Bike Chattanooga. Offering 450 regular and electronic bikes across 43 stations in the city, locals and visitors alike can enjoy convenient rental access throughout the year. Protected bike lanes and updated bicycle facilities continue to be established around the city, including a new multi-modal lane on Frazier Avenue as of 2024.

Electric vehicles also have an advantageous position in the Scenic City. Committed to increasing public access to sustainable transportation options, Chattanooga continues its collaboration with CARTA, TVA, and the State of Tennessee to install more electric vehicle charging stations along major routes. Thirty-one additional fast-charging stations are expected to be installed across the state within the next two years, thanks to a $21 million grant issued by the Tennessee Department of Transportation and Department of Environment and Conservation.

Logistics Providers

Some of the nation’s top logistics providers gravitate to the convenient location and thriving entrepreneurial spirit of the Scenic City. Chattanooga is host to the annual Future of Freight Festival, which unites leaders and experts to forecast market trends in the industry.

Utility Services

Chattanooga is home to an award-wining lineup of energy and communications providers. This developed network of electric, gas, internet, telephone, television, and water services work in tandem to provide residents with the resources they need. Leading the pack in innovation and stewardship are Electric Power Board (EPB), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and Tennessee American Water.

Chattanooga residents have access to record-breaking internet speeds, thanks to EPB. Fifteen years ago, the municipality-owned internet provider launched the first ever citywide 1-gigabit fiber optic network, putting Chattanooga on the map as “Gig City.” EPB continued to break new ground in 2022 by increasing access to 25 gigs and launching the country’s first commercial quantum network. Today, EPB serves nearly half a million customers across its 600-square-mile territory and continues to stay at the forefront of innovation.

In addition to internet, telephone, and television services, EPB is also an acclaimed power provider. The utility has built one of the world’s most advanced and resilient smart grid systems, which has amassed millions in energy savings and reduced power outages by 55% since it launched. The American Public Power Association has named EPB a Smart Energy Provider, and in 2024, recognized EPB’s Power to Protect microgrid with an Energy Innovator Award. EPB has consistently earned top marks for its customer service, ranking No.1 in customer satisfaction among midsize utilities in the South by J.D. Power for eight consecutive years, and was recently recognized among the best residential electric utilities in the nation during J.D. Power’s U.S. Utility Brand Appeal Index Study.

Also providing largescale service to Chattanooga is TVA.

DID YOU KNOW?

A new area code is coming to Chattanooga. The Tennessee Public Utility Commission has approved the addition of area code 729 in East Tennessee to meet the demand for new numbers in the region. This area code will bring 10-digit dialing to local phone calls and join 423 as it begins being assigned this year.

Since its creation in 1933, TVA has remained devoted to the three Es: energy, environmental stewardship, and economic development. The utility is the largest public power provider in the nation, providing electricity to over 10 million people across Tennessee and its six surrounding states. Ranked the top utility in economic development for 18 years in a row by Site Selection magazine, TVA partners with local governments and power companies to create more jobs in the industry and is a leader in clean energy in the Southeast. The Chattanooga area is home to corporate offices for TVA, as well as several of its major power sources, including Chickamauga Dam, Raccoon Mountain Pumped-Storage Plant – its largest hydroelectric facility – and Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. TVA’s many roles also include flood control, navigation, and land

management for the Tennessee River system.

Joining TVA in setting the standard for stewardship is Tennessee American Water, which has been serving the Chattanooga community since 1887. The largest investor-owned water utility in the state, Tennessee American Water provides water and wastewater services to approximately 420,000 people in Tennessee and North Georgia, supplying 40 million gallons of water to customers every day. Its Chattanooga water treatment plant has been awarded the Directors Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Partnership for Safe Water program for 23 consecutive years, a testament to the utility’s efforts to meet and exceed industry standards. Dedicated to delivering clean, reliable, and affordable water, the utility performs over 1 million water safety tests each year to ensure customers receive water free of contaminants, and last year, invested over $35 million to upgrade water treatment and pipeline systems. In addition to promoting public health, Tennessee American Water is committed to protecting the environment and stewarding the state’s natural resources.

Rounding out these offerings are gas providers such as AmeriGas, Chattanooga Gas, Ferrellgas, and Holston Gases, nationwide phone carriers, municipal utilities, and more.

THE BEST school FOR GIRLS

At Girls Preparatory School, girls are more likely to engage, join in, step forward, and lead—in academics, athletics, the arts, cocurricular activities, and more. From the classroom to the athletic field to the stage, girls are encouraged to ask questions, share opinions, and explore how they learn best.

Higher Education

The Chattanooga area is home to a number of colleges, universities, and trade schools – each offering a diverse array of degrees and certifications to suit any student’s education and career goals. Pursuing higher education in the Scenic City gives students access to award-winning campuses, first rate education, and immersion in a rapidly growing city with plenty of exciting career opportunities.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) was founded in 1886, making it a key institute in Chattanooga’s education sector. With more than 150 degree programs and concentrations at both the undergraduate and graduate level, opportunities abound for students to explore a variety of interests.

DID YOU KNOW?

Tennessee high school graduates can receive two years of tuition-free community or technical college through the Tennessee Promise program.

UTC, which saw record enrollment in 2024, is continuing to expand their offerings to students this year. Work is currently being done to expand the school of nursing with a brand new, state-of-the-art teaching facility. In addition, the university is developing two new doctoral degree programs, including one related to quantum, after receiving a $3.5 million federal grant in 2024 to finalize the UTC Quantum Center. They also announced plans to nearly double the size of their business college facilities over the next several years.

Chattanooga State Community College is home to another of Tennessee’s top nursing programs and boasts the only fully embedded technical college on a community college campus in the state. In 2024, the college broke ground on two new facilities. The Rhea County Higher Education Center will house programs such as welding, robotics, and emergency medicine, and the second facility is a training facility for students in service-based professional programs.

Dalton State College, located in Dalton, Georgia, was ranked the most affordable college in Georgia in 2024 and is among the top 10% of affordable colleges in the nation. The college offers a variety of degree and certificate programs in arts, sciences, and business, and is Georgia’s first Hispanic-serving institution.

The Chattanooga area also has a number of options for private, faith-based education. Cleveland’s Lee University, a liberal arts college, ranked No. 29 on U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 list of “Best Regional Universities in the South.” Covenant College is another Christian liberal arts school, and is located on Lookout Mountain. Known for its small classroom size, Covenant College boasts a 12:1 student ratio and a close-knit community with 85% of students living on campus.

Dayton’s Bryan College offers more than 50 unique fields of study and 14 post-graduate degrees. Southern Adventist University in Collegedale is College Factual’s No. 5 Seventh-day Adventist school in the nation with a 16:1 student-faculty ratio, 75 baccalaureate majors, 20 associate majors, and a variety of minors and certificate programs.

Tennessee prioritizes higher education with programs like former Governor Bill Haslam’s Drive to 55 alliance, which is on track to get 55% of Tennessee residents equipped with a postsecondary degree or certificate by 2025. Programs like Advise TN provide services to high school juniors and seniors to help them enroll in the postsecondary institution where they are most likely to succeed, and State Collaborative on Reforming Education (SCORE) works to close opportunity gaps and support students from kindergarten to career. Since these programs began, many of Tennessee’s higher education institutions have seen an increase in applications to schools, enrollment, and students returning after their first year.

Builder Profiles

Building the Best for Chattanooga

A. Perry Homes

We create magical experiences and craft the spaces for life’s remarkable moments.

How we started: Our company began with a belief that an architect-led design build business could make things better –for a family, for a neighborhood, and for an entire community. We feel that people in our society can be fanatical about design when it comes to their phone, computer, TV, clothes, or car. Yet, too often, they make compromises when it comes to their home, arguably the most important tangible asset in their lives. We feel truly privileged to work as a custom residential architect and builder that helps families create homes that are filled with architectural beauty and customized function and make their lives better.

Our values: We feel that trust, honesty, and integrity are the minimal expectation our clients should have for us. We believe our clients deserve exceptional design, a fun and engaging process, and a relationship-based approach to everything we contribute to our custom experience. We enjoy designing and building great homes for great people.

Our team: Our 20-person team is led by our CEO and lead architect, Kent DeReus. Kent lives in Chattanooga at Black Creek, where he designed and built a custom model home for his family.

Types of structures we build: We are custom residential architects and builders that create homes across the spectrum of style, size, and budget. We also offer a portfolio of predesigned homes for clients who desire a quicker path to delivery.

Where we build: We happily serve our clients across many different geographic regions. At Black Creek, we are the exclusive architect and builder for the release of the latest 36-lot development, Sunset Ridge.

At a time when many homebuyers were seeking unique, high-quality homes that reflected their individual tastes and lifestyles, Boutique Living capitalized on the trend toward customization, offering personalized services and design choices that are often missing from larger, more standardized homebuilding operations. With a mission “to be the trusted builder, rooted in quality, integrity, and community,” Boutique Living is redefining the building experience by focusing on client-centric approaches and unmatched craftsmanship.

Healthcare

A network of dedicated medical providers and state-of-the-art hospital systems work to provide Chattanooga with the best when it comes to healthcare. From preventative, primary, and acute care to specialized services, these facilities help local residents stay happy and healthy.

Chattanooga is home to three major healthcare systems – Erlanger, CHI Memorial, and Parkridge – all of which provide comprehensive care to patients at multiple locations across the region. Also serving the city are awardwinning rehabilitation hospitals, Siskin Hospital for Physical Rehabilitation and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as Kindred Hospital, which provides long-term acute care. A short drive away is Vitruvian Health, which operates Bradley Medical Center in Cleveland and Hamilton Medical Center in North Georgia.

DID YOU KNOW?

Last year, Erlanger Cardiology performed Tennessee’s first atrial leadless pacemaker implant.

and were listed on Healthgrades’ 2024 list of “America’s 250 Best Hospitals.” Adding to these accolades is Erlanger. The Children’s Hospital at Erlanger was recognized with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 2024 Outstanding Care Center Partner Award and Erlanger’s LIFE FORCE program was named the 2024 Flight Program of the Year by The Association of Air Medical Services.

By providing quality care and remaining on the forefront of innovation, Chattanooga’s healthcare systems continue to garner national attention. CHI Memorial was named “Best Regional Hospital” by U.S. News & World Report for its 10th consecutive year, and, alongside Parkridge, earned a spot on “The 2024 Fortune/PINC AI 100 Top Hospitals” list. CHI Memorial was recognized by Fortune/PINC AI as a top teaching hospital and among the nation’s top 15 health systems, while Parkridge was ranked the No. 5 large community hospital in the nation and received the “Everest Award,” a recognition given to hospitals with top rates of improvement. Both hospitals also earned an “A” hospital safety grade from The Leapfrog Group

Additionally, both Erlanger and CHI Memorial ranked in the top 10 on U.S. News & World Report ’s list of “Best Hospitals in Tennessee.” Hospitals from all three healthcare systems have been recognized by the American Heart Association for quality stroke care as part of the “Get With the Guidelines” program, including receiving the “Gold Plus Achievement” awarded to hospitals that have been recognized for two or more consecutive years.

Last year, local healthcare continued to expand its offerings. Siskin Hospital for Physical Rehabilitation celebrated the grand opening of its Healing Gardens at Siskin Hospital, debuting the first of five outdoor spaces specially designed with physical rehabilitation in mind; Erlanger opened a new primary care location in Ooltewah; and Parkridge opened a freestanding emergency room in Soddy-Daisy and expanded its women’s and emergency services at Parkridge East.

More is in store for the future. Last March saw the groundbreaking of CHI Memorial Hospital Georgia in Ringgold. Scheduled to open December 2025, the new hospital will feature 64 inpatient beds and a modern healthcare experience.

Retirement & Senior Care

Stunning scenery, affordable living, state-of-the-art retirement communities, and access to awardwinning healthcare are among the many reasons that Chattanooga is a top destination for retirees.

Chattanooga has consistently been rated one of the best places to retire, and for good reason. In 2023, it earned the “Best All-Around” spot on Southern Living and Investopedia’s list of the South’s best places to retire, and last year, was ranked among the top spots for retirees in Tennessee by Travel + Leisure, the latter citing Chattanooga’s “stable economy, access to outdoor activities, a thriving downtown, and a revitalized waterfront” as major draws. Thanks to these amenities and more, Chattanooga offers its senior residents everything they need to enjoy their golden years. With a cost of living that is 10% lower than the national average, Chattanooga lets seniors make the most of their retirement dollars. Tennessee’s affordable housing market, low property taxes, and lack of state income tax contribute to Chattanooga’s affordability and helped secure the state a spot on CNBC’s list of the most affordable U.S. states for retirement in 2024.

When it comes to finding a place to call home, welcoming neighborhoods and enticing real estate abound, from luxe downtown apartments to riverside residences, mountaintop homes, and suburban living. Also available are local retirement communities offering the best in independent and assisted living. Residents of these inviting properties can enjoy cleaning and dining services, daily programming, and a level of

Skilled nursing facilities and residential memory care are available to provide specialty care, while in-home services range from assistance with daily tasks to fullservice, professional care. Nearby, award-winning healthcare systems and rehabilitation hospitals stand ready to meet any medical needs. Nationally recognized senior care companies, including Life Care Centers of America, Century Park Associates, and Morning Pointe Senior living, are headquartered in the Chattanooga area and offer their expert services at area facilities. Recent developments from these accomplished companies continue to add more options. In 2024, Morning Pointe Senior Living broke ground on a $15 million memory care campus in East Hamilton, slated for completion this year. Meanwhile, in Ooltewah, a 447-unit senior living community by Atlantabased Thrive Senior Living is anticipated to begin construction in the coming months.

Seniors looking to stay active can enjoy a wealth of outdoor activities and sports here in the Scenic City, all while enjoying stunning views of the Tennessee River and surrounding mountains. Scenic overlooks, expansive parks, and trail systems for all activity levels are only a short drive away, while downtown, retirees can enjoy walking and biking on the 16-mile Riverwalk. Competitive spirits will feel right at home at area golf courses and sports complexes, while multiple waterfronts and marinas provide plenty of spots for fishing.

Chattanooga has a calendar packed with events for any interest, from concerts and car shows to local markets, seasonal festivals, and more. Year-round, seniors can visit a diverse lineup of museums and historic sites to learn more about the Chattanooga area’s rich history and culture. More educational opportunities await at area colleges offering programs for lifelong learners, as well as local arts, crafts, and cooking classes for those interested in honing creative skills.

The list of local amenities goes on, including shopping and dining to suit any tastes, and sightseeing spots to show off to visiting friends or family.

Notable performers and innovative institutions have put Chattanooga on the map for bolstering the arts and celebrating the histories of its citizens. Artisans will find endless opportunities to hone their crafts and explore other works in galleries, festivals, museums, and performance venues throughout the city.

The museum’s permanent exhibits feature art from the 1700s to the present day. Nearby, the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts houses a stunning collection of glass, ceramics, and textiles. In the same area, known as the Bluff View Art District, visitors can tour the two acres of public artwork on display in the acclaimed River Gallery Sculpture Garden.

Walking or driving through the city, it’s clear to see that the arts are showcased in both public and private spaces. Public Art Chattanooga is a commission established by the city to maintain more than 197 permanent and temporary outdoor art collections downtown and in surrounding neighborhoods.

Several music festivals also call the Scenic City home, featuring regional musicians alongside internationally touring bands.

Outdoor Adventures

While the city has plenty of eateries, bars, and activities for residents to enjoy, one can’t forget to mention the beautiful outdoors and recreational activities the Scenic City has to offer. Chattanooga has twice received the accolade of “Best Town Ever” by Outside magazine and ranked second on their 2024 list of “Nine Beautiful Mountain Towns in the Southeast.” Whether you like to bike, climb, hike, hunt, or hit the river, Chattanooga has something to offer every adventurer.

PARKS AND GREENWAYS

With 50,000 acres of canyons, caves, mountains, and waterways in the region, it’s no surprise that Chattanoogans are devoted to their green spaces, whether it’s improving current parks or creating new ones. In late 2024, North Chickamauga Creek Gorge near SoddyDaisy, Tennessee, became the state’s 59th state park. The city also allocated $500,000 to the renovation of Montague Park, the largest urban park in Chattanooga, with plans to build a new outdoor art museum and 13-acre site for soccer programs and other sports. The Tennessee Riverwalk offers 16 miles of paved walkway populated with restaurants, shops, and bike rental stations, earning it a spot on Fodor’s Travel ’s list of “The 15 Best River Walks in the USA.” Chattanooga continues to set new goals for the city’s parks and outdoors plan, with the hopes of adding 16 miles of new greenway trails, seven new neighborhood parks, and 28 miles of paddle trails in the short-term future.

DID YOU KNOW?

In 2024, Chattanooga Parks and Outdoors received a Four Star Award for best new facility from the Tennessee Recreation & Parks Association for Lynnbrook Park. With five total nominations, the department received the most in the state.

Just outside of Chattanooga, Walker County received a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission to complete the Chickamauga Battlefield Connector Trail, completing a just over 2-mile trail system from the battlefield to downtown Chickamauga.

Local parks, such as Harrison Bay, Cumberland Trail State Park, South Cumberland State Park, and Prentice Cooper State Forest, are well-loved by locals and are popular spots for boating, camping, climbing, hiking, fishing, and birding. More popular greenways can be found at Enterprise South Nature Park, North Chickamauga Creek, and South Chickamauga Creek.

Chattanooga still hopes to become the first National Park City in the United States, which would classify it alongside London, England, and Adelaide, Australia, as a city devoted to conserving green spaces and improving city infrastructure for healthier standards of living. As the city works through this 10-step journey, Chattanooga hopes to officially earn the title this year.

HIKING AND MOUNTAIN BIKING

If there’s one thing Chattanooga is known for, it’s an abundance of hiking trails. With more than 50 trailheads within 30 minutes of downtown, Chattanooga offers trails for hikers and bikers across all different skill levels. Popular trails include the Rivers to Clouds Route, from the Tennessee Riverwalk to Cloudland Canyon State Park; Raccoon Mountain Reservoir Loop; GuildHardy Trail; and Stringer’s Ridge.

Beautiful overlooks can be found at Sunset Rock on Lookout Mountain, Edward’s Point on Signal Mountain, and Snooper’s Rock at Prentice Cooper. For those looking to chase waterfalls, check out Glen Falls, Rainbow Falls, Lula Falls, and Falling Water Falls. Just over the state border lay Hemlock and Cherokee Falls at Cloudland Canyon.

For those who prefer mountain biking, Chattanooga has plenty of trails to offer. In 2023, the Tennessee River Gorge Trust opened the first phase of Aetna Mountain Trails, currently offering 4 miles of trails with a goal of more than 10 miles upon its completion. Other popular spots include Walden’s Ridge Park on the side of Signal Mountain, the Guild-Hardy trails, and Raccoon Mountain.

ROCK CLIMBING, CAVING, AND DEEP WATER SOLOING

With beautiful landscapes, Chattanooga is a top-tier destination for rock climbing. In fact, Outside magazine recognized Chattanooga on its list of “The Five Best Climber-Friendly Cities,” noting that Chattanooga had the best climbing for sport.

Whether a climber prefers natural settings, like Sunset Rock on Lookout Mountain, or urban, like Walnut Wall in Coolidge Park, there’s bound to be a climb for everyone.

For those looking to get involved with the climbing community, don’t forget to register for the annual Triple Crown Bouldering Series competition, which hosts one event at SoddyDaisy’s Stone Fort (also called Little Rock City). Or, check out the Memphis Rox climbing festival at the same location. For climbers who prefer deep water soloing, popular stops include a 50-foot cliff at Nickajack Lake, Foster Falls, and Tellico Lake.

With Chattanooga in the TAG region (Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia), the city remains a great caving destination, with more than 7,000 caves within 60 miles of downtown. Popular caving destinations include natural caves, like Pettyjohn’s Cave in Georgia, and commercial caves, like Raccoon Mountain Caverns.

WATER AND AIR ADVENTURES

With the lovely Tennessee River, Harrison Bay, and Chickamauga Lake all found in or near Chattanooga, it’s no surprise that the Scenic City is a popular spot for water activities. In fact, in 2023, Chattanooga ranked second in Best Swim Course in the IRONMAN Athletes’ Choice Awards – North American. To the northeast of Chattanooga, check out the Hiwassee and Ocoee Rivers for all things fly fishing, kayaking, and whitewater rafting. For those who prefer air travel, city staples such as the Lookout Mountain Flight Park and Chattanooga Skydiving Company are the perfect stops for paragliding, hang-gliding, and skydiving.

Throughout the year, Chattanooga plays host to unique events of all kinds, including Ruby Falls cave tours, Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum’s scenic train rides, and Southern Belle Riverboat cruises along the Tennessee River. The Chattanooga Market is another year-round favorite and hosts local vendors each Sunday as well as various seasonal events for all to enjoy. With such a great variety of events each year, it’s no surprise that Travel + Leisure named Chattanooga one of the “20 Best Places to Visit in Tennessee, According to Locals” in 2024.

As springtime blooms in the Scenic City, a variety of events draw crowds outdoors to enjoy beautiful views, athletic challenges, and local art. Spectacular gardens await at Rock City’s Spring Blooms, complete with various art displays and photo opportunities to enjoy. 4 Bridges Arts Festival – Chattanooga’s premier visual arts event – is another exciting event, featuring 145 artists and a lineup of area musicians. In March, those looking for an athletic challenge can participate in Erlanger’s Chattanooga Marathon, and in May, the IRONMAN 70.3 draws eager competitors from all around.
