  1. Stand Celebrates Downtown with “Day of Play” Games Across Town Tuesday, April 13, 2010

    To mark the release of the Chattanooga Stand results this week, organizers will host a play day for adults in multiple downtown locations Wednesday, April 14th from 11am-2pm. Survey results show Chattanoogans are proud of their downtown and enjoy using it for recreation. Activities will take place during lunchtime in an effort to allow anyone who wishes to participate to do so. Citizens are encouraged to visit one of the following locations and join in on the fun:

    Riverfront Lawn (In Front of Blue Plate): Kickball and Frisbee
    Miller Plaza: 4-Square, Jump Rope, Hoola Hoop, Chalk Drawing
    CreateHere Offices: Photo Scavenger Hunt
    Renaissance Park: Cardboard Sledding

    Don’t forget to bring your tennis shoes to work on Wednesday, and be ready to celebrate everything our downtown has to offer.

    Stand is the world’s largest survey-based community visioning effort led by residents across the Chattanooga region. Stand encourages people from every walk of life to share their input and ideas for the purpose of enabling citizens, organizations, neighborhoods, businesses and community leaders to collaborate and enact change. The dialogue began with four simple questions:

    1. What do you like about the Chattanooga region?
    2. Imagine the best possible Chattanooga region. Describe it.
    3. What challenges must be addressed?
    4. What actions, big or small, can you take to help?

    26,623 responses were collected in this visioning effort, and the entire data set was made public April 12, 2010. Search the results at http://chattanoogastand.com/results
