The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has launched an initial search for sites within the Chattanooga city limits for a new federal courthouse, Chattanoogan.com reports. Documents filed by the GSA indicate it is looking for a site between two to five acres to accommodate a building of approximately 186,000 gross square feet. Federal officials say the current courthouse no longer meets the judiciary’s requirements but the process will take time and is subject to congressional authorization and availability of funds. Site proposals should be sent to Sheri DeMartino by Jan. 31. The GSA also said it would be determining the best use and reuse opportunities for the current courthouse.
