Mayor Berke: Chattanoogans Coming Together In Crisis
Expand
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard the news about the terrible fire that occurred at Patten Towers on the morning of March 27.
As the fire compromised the building’s entire electrical system and it is now condemned -- meaning that all 160 men and women who lived there are now in temporary shelters. Patten Towers will be repaired and reopened, but until then, many, many Chattanoogans are facing some very difficult days ahead.
This incident is particularly unfortunate, as Patten Towers was nearing the end of multi-million dollar renovation by its new owners. Patten Towers is one of the few affordable housing options for low-income seniors in our downtown, and we look forward to welcoming home the men and women who live there as soon as it is safe to do so.
