Business Trend is a publication of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce. We feature businesses in our region, economic development news, advice for working smarter and much more. In addition to this site, we still enjoy holding a real magazine in our hands. Every month, you’ll find several of the stories here published in the Chattanooga Times Free Press EDGE monthly magazine.
