The Chattanooga Regional Planning Commission is hosting an Alton Park Land Use planning meeting from 5:30-7 p.m. Monday at the Southside Community Health Center.

“What’s going to happen is that we will have little display boards and we want residents to fill in what will happen in the next 10 to 15 years,” said commission Senior Planner Bryan Shults.

Alton Park includes about 1,500 acres and at least eight publicly owned brownfields, underused industrial or commercial facilities where development is complicated by real or perceived contamination.

The original land-use plan was done in 2000, and planners want to check with residents to update the plan if their ideas have changed, he said.

The land area extends on the north from Chattanooga Creek to the Tennessee-Georgia state line on the south. It extends from Chattanooga Creek on the east to Hawkins Ridge on the west.
