We made improved air service a priority. Because of the work of our Airport Authority, at a time when air service was being cut across the country, Chattanooga was able to add direct service to our city's number one travel destination, New York City. We are using our community's Renewal Community Designation to attract new investment to our downtown and reward employers for hiring citizens who live in the RC zone. The Community Education Alliance has implemented a highly innovative program, causing 27 high performing teachers to be recruited and retained in our high priority schools, driving up educational achievement. Our community is making great strides, but one of the most exciting projects which we are pursuing is the full implementation of the 21st Century Waterfront ( www.huntermuseum.org )
