Chattanooga launches community engagement platform
Engage Chattanooga aligns with the One Chattanooga plan and is designed to help the City government be more effective and responsive to community needs.
The US city of Chattanooga has developed a community engagement platform and is kicking off its launch by asking for participation in an online survey about what programmes and services are offered at community centres.
Chattanooga has nine regional community centres and the survey will help city representatives and leaders better understand what opportunities, services, resources, and activities that Chattanoogans would like to see in their unique communities.
Increasing transparency
Engage Chattanooga is designed to help the City government be more effective and responsive to the needs of Chattanoogans. Comments posted on Engage Chattanooga go directly to city representatives, allowing for more effective communication between city government and the people who use city services.
As Engage Chattanooga is put to use in different departments and on different services, it will be integrated into the recently updated Chattanooga.gov website. Users of Chattanooga.gov will see buttons with links for people to engage on the issue, which will take them to the Engage platform.
“One of the key priorities of the One Chattanooga plan is to invest in technology, platforms, and practices that allow Chattanooga to lead with citizen involvement and engagement”
As well as the online survey on community centres, the platform can be used to engage with ongoing projects like End Homelessness and other initiatives will be added on an ongoing basis.
“One of the key priorities of the One Chattanooga plan is to invest in technology, platforms, and practices that allow Chattanooga to lead with citizen involvement and engagement,” said mayor Tim Kelly.

“The Engage Chattanooga platform will create a central hub where Chattanoogans can give us input and help us make decisions to provide effective and responsive local government. The community centre survey is a natural and important way to launch this platform, and I encourage all Chattanoogans to participate.”
The One Chattanooga plan describes the strategic direction, key priorities, values, and initiatives that define a vision of a community where all Chattanoogans can thrive. It is designed to be an iterative, living document that holds the city accountable to achieving its goals, but is able to adjust to a changing and growing city.
