Downtown Businesses Demand Flood Action | Chattanooga News

Downtown business owners are on the brink, drowning in floodwaters that keep destroying their shops and draining their profits. They’re demanding immediate action—not vague long-term plans—before the next storm hits. One owner even shared how her own home flooded, stressing the city can’t wait for state or federal aid. City leaders have received a potential solution from Georgia DOT and are reviewing it, hoping to redirect water away from downtown. A council member is pushing to make this a top agenda item next week. Business owners know a permanent fix won’t be overnight, but they need visible progress—or risk losing their livelihoods—and with them, the city’s economic heart.
