Mayor Wamp’s State of the County

HAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF) — Mayor Weston Wamp gave his state of the county address at Soddy Daisy Middle School.

The mayor said he wants to focus on the smaller communities in Hamilton county, like Soddy Daisy, and they should get the same love that the city of Chattanooga gets.

He also mentioned the upgrades coming to the riverfront and was proud of those future plans. Yet he hopes that same energy goes into smaller areas like east ridge development which is being led by their mayor.

Mayor Wamp also discussed his goals for Hixson. He hopes the new school going there is a heartbeat for the Hixson Community.

Continuing in education he also added that he will be creating a new council focused on career and technical schools within the county.

Mayor Wamp said, “In my first state of the county I described the state of our county as complex. By many metrics we appear average. The building blocks of a strong community are simple. A good education that leads to good life decisions. A good job, which is the foundation for a thriving family where mom and dad are in the stands cheering for their child. That is the state of the county that I am pursuing.”

Mayor Wamp also said he wanted to add a proper history museum here in Hamilton county.

He focused during his speech on creating community in Hamilton County and praising the small communities.
