A Vision for Hawk Hill

With the relocation of the Chattanooga Lookouts baseball team from AT&T Field to the U.S. Pipe & Wheland Foundry site, Hawk Hill will become available for redevelopment. Per the land transfer agreement with the City of Chattanooga, the current stadium will be demolished once the Chattanooga Lookouts have relocated to the new stadium. As downtown Chattanooga’s economic development non-profit, River City Company sought community input to assist in developing a comprehensive, long-term vision for the site to guide future redevelopment.
