Senior Planner - Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency

Who: Chattanooga continues to receive international attention for its successes in downtown and riverfront revitalization.

Since 2014, Chattanooga and Hamilton County have attracted 11,062 new jobs and more than $3 billion in capital investment, including expansions to Volkswagen’s automotive assembly facility and an Amazon Fulfillment Center. Several years ago, our Electric Power Board (EPB) began offering the fastest internet service in the country and today Chattanooga still boasts the fastest internet service in the western hemisphere, with 10 gigabit service available for every home and business.

Chattanooga offers a low cost of living in exchange for a high quality of life. Awarded Outside Magazine’s “Best Town Ever” title for two years, Chattanooga - surrounded by mountains, rivers, and lakes - boasts a range of outdoor offerings.

WHY THE RPA?

Community Planning & Design (CPD) is a division of the RPA that focuses on urban design, placemaking, sustainability, and area planning. Our division’s work program for the next few years will be focused on developing 12 Area Plans that cover all of Hamilton County. A new Place Types palette will be applied to, and mapped for, each Area Plan. We will also be developing more detailed Station Area Plans / TODs in some of those areas.

In 2016, Chattanooga adopted a mandatory Form-Based Code for the entire downtown area. The CPD managed that initiative. We also recently completed a Public Spaces plan with schematic designs for 4 projects, including a park, a Riverwalk trail, and streetscape improvements.

What: The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency (RPA) is seeking to fill a Senior Planner position in the Community Planning & Design Division.
