Right Now

The City: Reform.The Mayor’s Office will develop and implement strategies to shift City departments and policies toward openness, setting the standard for public information to be easily available to and understandable by citizens.

The Library: Access. The Public Library will create an open data portal, a one-stop-shop for local data to be used by citizens, including developers, designers, journalists, non-profit organizations, and researchers.

The Brigade: Engage. Using the public data opened by the City and hosted on the portal, the Open Chattanooga Brigade- a citizen-led team of creative thinkers, neighborhood advocates, data nerds, designers, developers, and entrepreneurs- will train citizens to create visualizations, apps, and other solutions to address community information needs.
