Be on the lookout for new sign toppers, banners, and neighborhood flags. The City of Chattanooga is spreading $25,000 across 35 neighborhood associations to boost pride and connection.
The money will be used for neighborhood branding and identity, so think new light pole banners, custom signage, and community kiosks — all designed to help Chattanoogans feel more rooted.
“These grants empower residents to take ownership of their community’s identity and pride — block by block, banner by banner,” said Mayor Tim Kelly.
If you’re not sure what neighborhood you’re in, or if it has an association, you can check this map, click the magnifying glass, and type in your address. If you have a neighborhood association, it will tell you when it meets and who the president is.
Less than a third of Chattanooga’s 120 neighborhoods applied for and received this funding, so check out the full list to see if yours is one of them. If your community isn’t on the list, don’t worry — the city will award similar grants again next year.
