Heat treating and chrome plating services are available in Chattanooga. Contract arrangements can be made with the Tri-County Center's Industrial Services division's sheltered workshop program. Several local industries have relied upon the center for packaging, light assembly and shipping. There are four industrial parks in McMinn County, and other industrial sites are available. Industrial space is available in the McMinn County Interstate Industrial Park, the North Etowah Industrial Park and the South Etowah Industrial Park.
Plans are underway to develop additional industrial development space.
City and county governments are aggressively pursuing speculative building programs and work closely together to develop industrial properties. Besides being specifically engineered for industrial uses, both sites feature the added benefits of high visibility and easy access to major transportation routes. Besides being located alongside one of the major north-south motor routes in the United States, the McMinn County Interstate Industrial Park offers excellent visibility to traffic with 4,800 feet of interstate frontage. The North Etowah Industrial Park adjoins the CSX Transportation railroad and U.S. Highway 411 and plans are underway to add 400 acres to the North Etowah Industrial Park in 100-acre increments over the next few years. Also located in Etowah is the South Etowah Industrial Park, a 43-acre development just off of U.S. Highway 411.
