[Matt Fore]

Chattanooga continues to transform as a tech city in the Southeast.  In mid-November, it was selected as a G20 smart city alliance city. To quote the press release this will help "kickstart adoption of the roadmap, the alliance has recruited a group of 36 “pioneer cities” that will collaborate with global experts to enhance their city policies, in areas ranging from privacy protection and cyber security to better services for disabled people and better broadband coverage."

Chattanooga has evolved tremendously over the past 2 decades since becoming the first gig city in America.

How do you think this will benefit the job market and real estate market for Chattanooga and the surrounding areas?
