📰 News we're reading

• Signal Mountain leaders announce plan to reduce density for some residential development (newschannel9.com) — Signal Mountain’s Town Council has advanced a major zoning change that would require new homes in major subdivisions to sit on at least five-acre lots, up from the current half-acre minimum. Supporters say it protects infrastructure and the town’s small‑town character, while some residents and developers argue it slashes property values and limits more affordable housing options. Residents can still weigh in before a final vote in May.
   

• ‘Devastating for us': Businesses, commissioners question plan to move county incubator (timesfreepress.com) — Hamilton County leaders are weighing whether to sell Chattanooga’s Business Development Center, which houses 34 incubator businesses, and move the program to a new Future Ready Center downtown. Some business owners fear costly disruption, while Commissioner Chip Baker of Signal Mountain and others question whether the transition plan is realistic and sufficiently communicated. A vote on seeking sale proposals is set for May 6.
