Ross's Landing Lauded by City Parks Alliance

Ross's Landing is part of the newly configured TN House District 26.  Although there are some issue that need to be fixed, the development of the waterfront in the downtown Chattanooga is truly something that we can all be proud of.  


 
Like so many great things in 21st Century Chattanooga, the projects that changed downtown, starting with the Tennessee Aquarium, were accomplished by multiple segments of the community who came together to get things done.

This Nooga.com story highlights the selection of Ross's Landing as a “Frontline Park,” a designation from the national urban park advocacy group City Parks Alliance.  According to Catherine Nagel, executive director of City Parks Alliance, Ross's Landing was selected for recognition because it exemplifies "the power of partnership to create and maintain urban parks that build community and make our cities sustainable and vibrant.” 


 
Larry Zehnder, administrator for Chattanooga Parks and Recreation Department, said Chattanooga's investments in parks and other public spaces are a large part of the reason it has been named a “most livable city” multiple times in the past decade."

I strongly support such investment in our community. and the continuation of the power of partnership to get important things accomplished.
