📰 News we're reading
• Chattanooga-Hamilton County RPA separation delayed until March amid public outcry (newschannel9.com) — Lookout Mountain’s zoning and land-use decisions remain under the existing Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission for now, after a proposal to split the city and county planning commissions was delayed until March 2026. County leaders say they need more time to study legal issues, while some residents argue the change is urgently needed to better manage rapid growth in unincorporated Hamilton County.
