“The
Present”
In 1967, the Tennessee Highway Patrol placed the Chattanooga Office in
Lookout
Valley
where it remains today. From
1967 through the late 1980s the
Driver
Licenses
Testing
Center
was located at the Highway
Patrol Office; however, the testing center moved to a new location on
East Third Street
in downtown
Chattanooga
. Over the last few years
many businesses have come and gone in
Lookout
Valley
. They include many hotels
and motels many industrial businesses such as Chattanooga Labeling, which came
in 1994, and Cracker Barrel Restaurant, which came in 1994.
In
2001, Covenant Transport came to
Lookout
Valley
building a nice state of the
art building on-top of Tinker Hill. The Building houses the Covenant Offices,
the dispatch office, a shopping center, restaurant, and the repair shop. In
2002, Covenant Transport bought the Holiday Inn Complex on
Cummings Highway
and today it is the home of
many of the truck drivers who work for Covenant, and also is now also home of
the training center for future truck drivers.
