Mayor Tim Kelly issued an executive order on Friday that will reopen all remaining city facilities that were shuttered during the pandemic.
This includes reopening all YFD centers and Senior Centers on June 1 and all remaining pools on June 7.
Summer camps will also begin on June 7.
The order follows the presentation to City Council on Tuesday of the city’s safe reopening plan, which puts in place measures to ensure social distancing, enhanced cleaning, and limited capacity per CDC guidelines.
In honor of Juneteenth, which is now a city holiday, the City of Chattanooga Office of Multicultural Affairs will present “Chattanooga Recreates Black Wall Street” an inaugural month-long recognition highlighting the celebration and patronage of Black-owned businesses for the entire month of June 2021.
“Black Wall Street” is the historical reference to the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, once known as one of the prosperous African-American communities within the United States up until the 1921 attack on black residents and businesses by mobs of white residents.
