Chattanooga Seniors Hope to Break Ground by the End of the Year on Collaborative Housing Project

Four years ago a group of Chattanooga seniors had an idea—let’s build a mutually supportive community. They bought a piece of land on the south side of Chattanooga and they are now almost ready to begin building. The plan is to build individual homes around a large, communally shared space—in effect a small village. The only thing holding them back is they are four people short of the number they need to realize their vision for an interactive, mutually supportive community of seniors.

Richard Winham talked to Jay Ku and Bill Reynolds who told that despite the fact they have been developing this idea for four years now, they are still very optimistic and enthusiastic, but they are also ready to get started.

Richard Winham joined WUTC five years after the station began broadcasting to the Chattanooga area and the Tennessee Valley.
