As we get ready to gather around our tables with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for our community here in Chattanooga.
As Mayor, I'm grateful for the wonderful team at the City of Chattanooga, and for all of our engaged partners and community members who help make Chattanooga a great place to call home. Together, we're making major progress on the things that matter most to our residents, and I'm thankful for the momentum we're carrying into the new year. Most of all, Iām grateful for the opportunity to serve as your mayor.
I hope you and your loved ones have a Happy Thanksgiving filled with love and laughter, along with the strong sense of community that makes Chattanooga such a special place.
As always, if I can be of any assistance, please feel free to message me at mayor@chattanooga.gov.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
Tim Kelly
Mayor, City of Chattanooga
