Public Meeting: Medal of Honor Heritage Center
LOCATION
Chattanooga Theatre Centre (at Coolidge Park)
DESCRIPTION
REALTORS® are encouraged to attend this public meeting, which will provide the opportunity to learn about the Center and its mission.
At their July 28, 2016, meeting, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the following position statement:
The Greater Chattanooga Association of REALTORS® is in favor of the Medal of Honor Heritage Center being built on the 1/10th of an acre plot of the Coolidge Park land by the roundabout on Tremont Street. With the park being named after Charles H. Coolidge for having earned the medal of honor during World War II, it seems only fitting to have the Medal of Honor Heritage Center be located in the park.
Mr. Coolidge also supports the Heritage Center being in the park that was named in his honor. The parcel of land where the Heritage Center would be located is not as well used as the rest of the park and is the perfect spot for the Heritage Center. Without heroes like Charles Coolidge and other medal of honor recipients, we may not be enjoying the freedom of having great green spaces like we do in Chattanooga, TN and in Coolidge Park.
This Medal of Honor Heritage Center is a great use of our public land in order to celebrate the sacrifices that the military has made for our freedom.
