The Chattanooga-Hamilton County NAACP announces the beginning of an economic empowerment campaign aimed at helping to promote the economic vitality, sustainability, and revitalization of poor, minority, and black communities throughout inner-city Chattanooga, officials said.
This campaign will include dialogue and discussions with service agencies and community organizations, a review of neighborhood plans, healthy foods promotion which includes the elimination of food deserts, and identifying the tools and mechanisms that will help to provide the incentives to invest in these communities.
To begin the campaign, Carolyn Jones of C.J. Enterprises will be the primary speaker at the Feb. 19 general membership meeting. C.J. Enterprises is nationally known for its designing of effective and efficient record and information management systems. The meeting will be held at the Glenwood Recreation Center at 6 p.m.
