We preview the final event of the Community Design Center's 2017 Reshaping Rochester Series. This time, the focus is on riverfront revitalization, specifically in Chattanooga, Tennessee. A private non-profit called the River City Company has served as an economic development engine for downtown Chattanooga. Its efforts have led to real estate and retail projects, entertainment venues, and community initiatives that have brought new life to the city center.
So what can Rochester learn from Chattanooga? We discuss that question with our guests:
- Kim White, president and CEO of River City Company in Chattanooga, Tennessee
- Roger Brown, board member and creative consultant for the Community Design Center of Rochester
- Howard Decker, board member for the Community Design Center of Rochester
