Known for its historical significance and scenic beauty, Stevenson offers the charm of small-town living with convenient access to major transportation routes and surrounding cities. Stevenson's economy is driven by a mix of agriculture, manufacturing, and retail services. The town's strategic location along US-72, a major highway connecting it to larger economic centers such as Huntsville and Chattanooga, makes it a favorable area for businesses. Stevenson's proximity to the Tennessee River also contributes to its regional importance, supporting industries in logistics and energy production.

Stevenson is about 45 miles outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee, the county seat of Hamilton County, Tennessee. Chattanooga is located along the Tennessee River and borders Georgia to the south. With a population of 181,099 in 2020, it is Tennessee's fourth-largest city and one of the two principal cities of East Tennessee, along with Knoxville. Chattanooga anchors the Chattanooga metropolitan area, Tennessee's fourth-largest metropolitan statistical area.

In addition to corporate business interests, there are many retail shops in Chattanooga, including two shopping malls: Hamilton Place Mall in East Brainerd and Northgate Mall in Hixson. Eastgate Mall in Brainerd used to be a shopping mall, but has changed into a multi-use office building.

Tourism and hospitality have been a growing part of Chattanooga's economy, with 2014 marking the first year for Hamilton County to surpass $1 billion in revenue. Chattanooga touts many attractions, including the Tennessee Aquarium, caverns, and new waterfront attractions along and across the Tennessee River.

In the downtown area is the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, housed in the renovated Terminal Station. Also downtown are the Creative Discovery Museum, a hands-on children's museum dedicated to science, art, and music; an IMAX 3D Theatre; and the newly expanded Hunter Museum of American Art. The Tennessee Riverwalk, an approximately 13-mile-long (21 km) trail running alongside the river, is another attraction for both tourists and residents alike.
