Hamilton County and the City of Chattanooga are proposing a plan to  revitalize the South Broad District, including the long empty US Pipe  and Wheland Foundry site. The centerpiece of this plan is the  construction of a new, publicly owned baseball stadium, using a  combination of private investment and public tax incentives. This plan  will be put to a vote by the county commission on August 3rd, and the  city council on August 9th.
