A new site on Vine Street is being considered for a proposed federal courthouse in Chattanooga. According to the Chattanoogan, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced two shortlisted sites: the Hawk Hill Stadium site and the TVA site, and has added an additional location for consideration, which requires an environmental assessment (EA). The proposed courthouse would include seven courtrooms, nine chambers and 40 secured parking spaces, and would be located within the city limits of Chattanooga. The public is encouraged to submit written comments on the findings presented in the draft supplemental EA and draft "Finding of No Significant Impact" (FONSI). Any substantive comments received by the Dec. 18 deadline will be addressed in the final EA. Information on how to submit comments can be found on the GSA website.
