After a year of economic uncertainty, the world is beginning to recover and Tennessee’s project pipeline is as robust as ever.
It’s no secret that economic development in Tennessee is thriving. U.S. News and World Report ranks Tennessee as the number one state for fiscal stability.
U-Haul released its annual list of states most people moved to and this year, for the first time ever, Tennessee ranked number one.
Since 2020, TNECD has announced 140 projects, more than 22,000 job commitments and nearly $10 billion in capital investment. These projects have touched every region, and TNECD has secured some record-breaking wins for the state.
For National Economic Development Week, we took a look at each of TNECD’s nine regions to recap the activity, projects and job creation that’s going on across Tennessee.
It’s easy to see why Tennessee continues to make headlines as a leader in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, automotive and agriculture. Each of the nine regions has seen growth and success in the past 17 months, which is all the more meaningful given the pandemic. As the world re-opens, let it be known that Tennessee is open for business.
