Council defers vote on proposed sale of 182.39 acres at Enterprise South to investigate outstanding questions
Summary
Council deferred action on a resolution authorizing a sale of approximately 182.39 acres in the Enterprise South Industrial Park to Novonex Enterprise South LLC after Councilor Ledford asked for additional information; the item was moved to the Jan. 28 agenda.
The Chattanooga City Council on Jan. 21 voted to defer a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a purchase and sale agreement for roughly 182.39 acres in the Enterprise South Industrial Park to Novonex Enterprise South, LLC, Council records show.
Councilor Ledford said he wanted to defer the item to allow council follow‑up on “recent developments and information” and asked that the matter be placed on the Jan. 28 agenda; he said the council could further defer the item if necessary. Ledford moved to defer; the motion received a second and carried on a voice vote.
Why it matters: the resolution would have authorized a large real‑estate conveyance from the city and delegated certain authority to the Industrial Development Board and the mayor, including the execution of a payment‑in‑lieu‑of‑taxes agreement. Deferral postpones any final transfer while council members pursue follow‑up information.
