Chattanooga’s Mill Town is setting a new standard for innovative, community-focused development — but don’t just take OUR word for it. ULI Nashville, a trusted leader in responsible urban planning, recently recognized the project as a “leading-edge development.” Collier Construction’s Mill Town development will not only close Chattanooga’s housing supply gap with 1,000 new housing units, but will also serve as a model of top tier, mixed-income housing, developed without disrupting nearby neighborhoods. The Mill Town revitalization project is spearheaded by Collier Construction, in partnership with Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise, the City of Chattanooga, and the Benwood Foundation. ??Read more at the link below! #Chattanooga #CreativeUrbanism?

Chattanooga, the results are in! ??? Mayor Tim Kelly has been re-elected to lead our city for another four years with an overwhelming 85% of the vote! This decisive win reflects Chattanoogans’ continued confidence in his leadership and vision for #OneChattanooga. Coeo Strategies is excited to continue working alongside our Mayor and his team to make our community stronger, safer, and more connected for everyone. We also extend our congratulations to the newly elected and re-elected members of the Chattanooga City Council! District 6 and District 8 are headed to runoffs and Election Day for these elections is April 8! And let’s not forget: civic engagement doesn’t stop when elections end. The work of building a stronger, more connected city happens every day, and it takes all of us. Let’s get to work!

?? Building the Future of Mill Town ?? Collier Construction is leading the way with a transformative mixed-income housing development in Mill Town — a neighborhood that has sat nearly vacant for decades until Collier and their partners began to invest. This project is about more than just housing; it's about community. By including both market-rate and income-restricted units, Collier is ensuring that longtime residents can remain in their neighborhood as the area grows. Mill Town is a prime example of accessible, affordable, community-focused urban revival. As Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise President Martina Guilfoil, puts it: "This is a great opportunity to create a model for equitable development that could be used across the city." At Coeo Strategies, we’re proud to support projects that foster inclusive growth and lasting impact. We can’t wait to see this project continue to come to life. #urbanrevival #mixedincomehousing #chattanooga

“I am so proud of the work we are planning for Dade County’s first-ever community forest. Providing close-to-home recreational access like this will not only allow the community to enjoy their land but also conserve and protect an important piece of the county for generations to come. Thanks to Emily Camargo for leading this work, and thank you Dade County Commission, Georgia-Alabama Land Trust, Inc., and Georgia Department of Natural Resources for your partnership! ”Link:?https://lnkd.in/gFmS5-Qr

Coeo Media is proud to support Advocates for Immigrant Rights in their work to ensure that every child and family has access to justice, dignity, and the full measure of their humanity. Casey Bryant describes the situation well: "There is a lot of fear, and it really is sending a message across the land that this isn’t a safe place for people and they’re going to be penalized for who they are or what they look like, even people who have lawful status in the United States." Thanks to the Nashville Banner for their continued coverage of immigration issues in Tennessee.

The fight for immigrant rights is more urgent than ever. Our client Advocates for Immigrant Rights (AIR) is gearing up to defend vulnerable communities targeted by the Trump administration. AIR is defending immigrant communities, protecting due process, and pushing back against policies that threaten fundamental rights. Their attorneys aren’t just reacting—they’re strategizing, mobilizing, and refusing to back down. This is about real people, real families, and real futures. If you believe in immigrant rights, now is the time to support organizations like @AdvocatesforImmigrantRights. Share this post, spread the word, and stand with those who need us most. ??
