City Leaders Solicit Public Input to Develop Chattanooga’s Music Scene

In an enthusiastic bid to foster the growth of Chattanooga’s local music scene, city leaders are reaching out to the public for their invaluable input. The online questionnaire will be available until March 6 and is geared towards gathering insights on how to enhance the city’s musical offerings.

A Community-Driven Approach

Recognizing the vital role members of the public play in shaping the city’s culture, Chattanooga’s leaders invite locals to answer a variety of questions regarding their experiences and preferences in musical entertainment. Ranging from the types of live performances they typically enjoy, satisfaction levels with the diversity of musical programming, to whether they usually travel for shows or attend them locally, the responses will be instrumental in molding city strategies and future plans.

The Purpose of the Survey

Conducted by the Chattanooga Tourism Co., this Music Venue Economic Search Study will significantly contribute to their data on how to enhance the city’s musical scene. Furthermore, the questionnaire aims to garner more public participation, acknowledging the central role the community plays in influencing decision-making. The more participants there are in this survey, the more substantial and concrete the data will be for city leaders in their quest to amplify Chattanooga’s music scene.

Moving Forward with Partnerships

The Chattanooga Tourism Co. is conducting this study in a strategic partnership with the Convention Sports & Leisure International. As a renowned planning firm specializing in services to the convention, sports, entertainment, and visitor industries, Convention Sports & Leisure International’s expertise will be crucial in interpreting the survey data and devising effective strategies for the growth of Chattanooga’s music scene.

Chattanooga’s Music Scene

The city, home to the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, a vibrant local entertainment venue, is poised for growth in the music industry. Normally classified as a small- to medium-sized arena, the theatre can host crowds of 2,200 or 3,800, making it the largest active entertainment venue in Chattanooga.

Currently, city officials believe that the future of the city’s music scene can be better shaped with guidance from locals, who are the primary consumers of these performances. As such, insights gleaned from the Music Venue Economic Search Study will be highly impactful in informing forthcoming plans to invigorate the city’s musical sphere.

Undeniably, Chattanooga’s vibrant arts culture, coupled with this strategic community-driven approach, promises an exciting future for the city’s music scene. Feedback from the survey will be central to the city’s ongoing effort to cultivate a more diverse and dynamic music scene to be enjoyed by all.

Launching this initiative underlines the city’s commitment to synthesizing the public’s ideas with the expertise of city leaders and planning professionals.
