The Custom Advantage
Chattanooga is the 'Scenic City' with ~193,800 residents and a metro population of ~585,000 (including parts of North Georgia). Growth rate ~1.2% annually, with ~6.3% total increase since 2020.

Over 99% of Tennessee businesses are small businesses (~664,000 small firms), and Chattanooga has a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem with a dedicated Office of Entrepreneurship.

This means zero bloat, enhanced security, and a mobile experience that matches Chattanooga's Gig City ethos.
