“Today, building a business in Chattanooga just got a little easier. The Small Business Resource Center will serve as a comprehensive hub, supporting entrepreneurs just coming up with a great idea all the way through to those seeking capital to grow and scale their business. Locating the Center on Martin Luther King Boulevard will also make sure every Chattanoogan who wants to start a business has access to opportunity.”
