Chattanooga and its surrounding MSA and the North Georgia markets are strong markets with stable values which feature a diversified economy, positive proactive city government, visionary non-profit supporting organizations and high quality of life which makes for a dynamic and growing region. Chattanooga has been listed on of the best cities in America and one of the best places to live many times by a wide range of publications.
Chattanooga is highly rated for relocation and expansion. With a growing downtown renaissance,Chattanooga residents are rediscovering their business district. The revitalization of Chattanooga's inner loop is tremendous, combined public and private investments include over $400 million for public projects. The well-respected Christian Science Monitor reported that Chattanooga is among the cities that are expected to shrug off the major effects of the current economic downturn. The reason: "A diverse economic mix.” Major employers are expanding not contracting. Examples are is BlueCross BlueShield building a $299 million corporate headquarters, and Volkswagen's choice to locate their North American headquarters and manufacturing plant in Chattanooga's Enterprise Site expected to create 8,000 or more jobs in the coming years. Also contributing to Chattanooga's up swing is affordable housing and land, easy access to the Interstate highway system, the computational engineering expertise available at UTC's SimCenter, continuing riverfront and urban development and the community's overall quality of life. USA Today reported that Chattanooga “has largely avoided much of the mortgage crisis that has struck many other parts of the nation.” Indeed, the newspaper reported that 2007 was the city's third-best year ever for home sales. It added that people who move to Chattanooga from other parts of the country are finding that they can get a lot of house for their money, a finding that is bound to stir a positive response in those considering Chattanooga as a place to live and to work.
