Why the Greater Chattanooga Area Should be Your Next HQ:

Less than a two-hour drive from metro Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville and Huntsville, the area enjoys easy access to some of the Southeast’s most flourishing markets. The region’s largest airport, Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, is home to four major airlines and offers quick connections to major airport hubs as well as one-stop service to Europe and Asia.

The Chattanooga region boasts Class A office space in both suburban communities as well as downtown Chattanooga. Our region is also home to the country’s most pervasive fiber optic network, which provides unmatched reliability and a 25-gigabit telecom capacity.

Companies that choose our Chattanooga Region benefit from a well-prepared workforce, advanced utilities and tremendous potential cost savings. Tax abatements allow qualified businesses to substantially reduce their property tax burden, while state training and infrastructure grants are also available. In addition, the region offers reduced utility taxes and job tax credits to reduce corporate liability.

World-Class Workforce
and Training

Companies in the region benefit from a large pool of talent well-versed in various business sectors, including the insurance, finance, technology and logistics industries. The region’s community colleges and 12 accredited higher education institutions offer customized training programs that provide ongoing development to workers in this field, as well as numerous degrees in business, engineering and technology.

Students can earn undergraduate and graduate degrees at the region’s colleges and universities including Covenant College, Lee University, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Southern Adventist University. In addition, the region boasts several programs through community colleges.

The region’s proximity to universities such as Georgia Tech, Emory, Vanderbilt, Middle Tennessee State University, the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and the University of Alabama Huntsville also allows for an expansive approach to recruitment.
