Our Mission

Thrive Regional Partnership inspires responsible growth through conversation, connection, and collaboration in the tri-state Chattanooga region.

We convene stakeholders across the region to ensure that as we grow in industry, prosperity, and population, we also preserve community and natural character for generations to come.

Our footprint includes 16 counties across northeast Alabama, northwest Georgia, and southeast Tennessee.
