crystal ball

Picture this: It’s 2019. You sit down in front of your computer with your morning coffee. You open up NOOGAtoday — what headlines do you see?

In the spirit of the New Year, we’re asking you: What do you predict for Chattanooga’s future in 2019? We want you to peer into your crystal ball and tell us, and we’ll publish your predictions in our newsletter on New Year’s Eve.

Think: Development, transportation, entertainment and other positive city changes. Get creative, but stay realistic… -ish.

To get the crystal ball warmed up, here are a few of our readers’ ideas:

Alex L. would like to see these headlines:

🔮 Chattanooga increases in its national ranking as a desired location for single professionals to top 100

🔮 12 Chattanooga companies listed on Inc 5000 list this year

Spokesman for Hamilton County Schools Tim Hensley made this prediction:

🔮 Hamilton County Schools is the fastest improving school district in the state of Tennessee!

The Chattery owners want to see these headlines:

🔮 The City of Chattanooga makes continuing education a priority for all adults.
🔮 The Chattery opens a new space!

Owner of Grass Roots Health Elisha Millan said:

🔮 In 2019 I would love to see headlines celebrating Chattanooga’s decrease in opiate-related deaths. With record-breaking increases in 2018, many organizations are focusing on opiate addiction as a crisis, and saving lives is our benchmark for success.
