Last year, the nonprofit Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise built a 49-unit apartment building called The Mai Bell and is now proposing construction of 14 new apartment units and commercial space on a nearby vacant lot, pending approval from the regional planning commission. CNE is dedicated to creating “economically diverse neighborhoods filled with financially empowered neighbors and housing for all” and, as such, either includes or targets lower-income families with its projects. Proponents of CNE’s ongoing projects in the neighborhood believe they will bring revitalization and affordable housing to the area, while some neighbors fear they could alter the neighborhood’s aesthetic.
