The Community Development team works with communities to help attract new business development and improve the quality of life. Programs range from job creation to strategic planning for growth in an effort to help communities take control of their own economic future.

We also administer state and federal government grant and loan funds. The millions of dollars awarded under these various special programs have benefited every county in the state, helping to create new jobs, improve the quality of life and grow businesses.

Our focus is on the economic success of every Tennessee community through the development of strategic locations, highly developed infrastructures and diligent work ethics. All these add up to profit for businesses locating and expanding in Tennessee's well-prepared communities. With a diversified manufacturing base, unparalleled distribution advantages and strong regional support services, Tennessee communities are eager to showcase their business success stories. Local officials and citizens, along with public and private sectors, are working together as a team to make things happen.
