"The Chattanooga African American Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in recruiting and training disadvantage businesses for the local community. With their assistance, the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority (CMAA) has been able to consistently meet or exceed its overall goal for participation by disadvantage businesses in federally funded construction projects at the airport. Their continued efforts are important to the overall economic health of small minority business within this community.
