A Nashville judge has declined to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the Tennessee Cable Telecommunications Association seeking to block the EPB from getting into the cable TV business. Chancellor Ellen Lyle also said in a memorandum opinion that the case will remain in Nashville. Attorneys for EPB had sought to have the lawsuit dismissed. They also asked that it be heard in Chattanooga since EPB is located here. www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_119825.asp

CHATTANOOGA - A $30 million renovation is being eyed at Warehouse Row that could include a new 180-room hotel and a Japanese restaurant. Officials said there could be 213 new jobs created, and the current 150 employees would be retained. Jamestown Properties of Atlanta, in conjunction with the major Warehouse Row improvements, is also looking at acquiring properties from Main Street to 11th Street to help enhance the Southside area. Those include refurbishing derelict properties across from the Chattanooga Choo Choo, officials said. The firm plans to remove all the green canopies at Warehouse Row and retrofit and clean the exterior to the building. Warehouse Row is a collection of old warehouse buildings along South Market Street that earlier were converted as an upscale mall. www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_119827.asp

The Regional Planning Agency is recommending approval for a controversial development on historic Stringer's Ridge with a number of restrictions, including limiting building heights to three stories. The RPA recommendation also calls for additional access points to the 504-unit development in addition to the planned single entry near Nikki's Restaurant at Bell Avenue. The staff said there should be an entry from Red Bank on the other side of the ridge and also another entry from Chattanooga. But it said High Ridge Road should not be the latter entryway - unless that narrow, steep road is brought up to city standards. The Planning Commission is set to discuss the case on Monday at 1 p.m. at the County Courthouse. It is due to go to the City Council in February. www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_119848.asp
