1970s – A group of manufacturers, doctors, and elected officials to address air quality issues in the area. As a result, Chattanooga became one of the first cities in the U.S. to create a local Air Pollution Control Bureau. Manufacturers voluntarily spent over $10 million to install equipment to radically reduce emissions, and the federal government, which had named Chattanooga as the city with the worst air quality in 1969, celebrated the city’s rapid improvement with a national declaration just three years later. 1980s – Thousands of Chattanoogans came together to envision a commitment portfolio for moving the city forward. Ideas generated through these sessions included the construction of an aquarium, reconnection with the cities river roots, green space master planning within and around the city, a focus on pedestrian connections, and taking a sustainable approach to development. 1990s – Chattanooga received national and international attention for its downtown Renaissance thanks to the completion of the Tennessee Aquarium and half a dozen other major projects. Restaurants and other businesses took root. In earlier decades, Chattanooga’s Central Business District was a virtual ghost town after 5 p.m. and on weekends. In the 1990s, it became a destination of choice for residents and tourists alike. 2000s – Chattanoogans sustained their revitalization efforts by embarking on two tranformational projects simultaneously.
