The shuttered Harriett Tubman housing complex may soon become a new industrial site. Andy Berke wants the city to buy the complex from the Chattanooga Housing Authority for $1 million dollars. It would then cost about $2 million dollars to bulldoze the site. But Berke's bid for the land would undercut existing offers from private developers who have been bidding since 2012, in some cases up to $4 million dollars for the site. Still, opponents say the city needs to modernize the apartments already there, instead of replacing them with industry.
