The public is invited to attend an upcoming meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 3, 6 p.m. at the Chattanooga Theatre Center, 400 River St., to give feedback on a group’s request to City Council to lease a portion of Coolidge Park for construction of the Charles H. Coolidge Medal of Honor Heritage Center.
Officials with the Charles H. Coolidge Heritage Center are requesting to lease a portion of Coolidge Park from the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County in order to build a two-story museum.
The Charles H. Coolidge Heritage Center is currently housed at Northgate Mall in Hixson.
The request to Chattanooga City Council asks to lease 6,800 square feet next to the cul-de-sac at the end of Tremont Street in Coolidge Park. The agreement, if approved, would be a lease of $1 for 99 years.
The Medal of Honor Heritage Center says the site would further honor Charles H. Coolidge as a Medal of Honor recipient and act as a memorial by reflecting the Heritage of the Medal of Honor. The public is encouraged to attend the meeting to give feedback on the Heritage Center’s request to lease this part of Coolidge Park.
