Chattanooga, You Amaze Me.
Hey there, Chattanooga. I answered four questions for the future. Have you?
Please, take your stand now.
Nearly 10,000 people have spoken up about what they want for Chattanooga’s future. Already, Chattanooga’s participation is an astounding success! The Stand campaign is raising the bar across the country, even the world, for survey-based community visioning efforts.
How high is the bar being raised? Really, really high: our goal is to get 25,000 responses to a four-question survey by August 31.
The numbers speak for themselves:
