Since Governor Bredesen took office in 2003, one of his highest priorities has been the creation of higher-skilled, better-paying jobs for Tennesseans. The Department of Economic and Community Development has spearheaded that effort from the beginning, and the results speak for themselves. The last five years have seen the creation of 141,000 new jobs, $21 billion in capital investment and 38 corporate headquarter locations in Tennessee. In the last year, we’ve been called the nation’s most competitive state for business, the third-best for economic development and the most improved state for development. The stage is set for success in Tennessee. We invite you to experience what everyone’s talking about.
