Chattanooga: The City that Can, with 4700 volunteers

Chattanooga, TN, a city chosen for an "Extreme Makeover" build, has been overwhelmed
with 4700 volunteers wanting to take part. The city, with a population of 170880, is known for its' volunteerism and work ethic, but this was even more than anticipated.

Chattanooga is a growing city, home of old and new industries (Alstom TMG, Volkswagon, and many other companies new to the area). Once one of America's dirtiest cities, it now is regarded as a terrific place to raise a family and to retire.

Can Chattanooga build this home for a deserving family in just one week? We're betting it can!
