GSA Breaks Ground on $283M Federal Courthouse in Chattanooga

Officials broke ground on a $283 million federal courthouse in downtown Chattanooga. The project, which is part of a larger $319 million funding package, was initiated under an executive order from Donald Trump. The General Services Administration is managing the acquisition and construction of the facility, which will consolidate several federal districts and courts. Plans also include a learning space for University of Tennessee system students.

The construction project represents a major public works investment in Chattanooga. The facility, which will be nearly 200,000 square feet, will increase the federal presence and judicial capacity in the area. The project also formalizes a partnership between the federal judiciary and the University of Tennessee system.
