Nashville Area Continues To Win National Accolades
Published May 23, 2008

Welcome to the second edition of the Nashville Area Economic & Site Guide.

Sponsored by Partnership 2010, the regional economic development initiative of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, the guide details the advantages of doing business in the 10-county region around Tennessee’s capital city. It also lists more than 100 developed greenfield industrial and office sites ranging in acreage from less than one to nearly 1,200.

“This guide is a valuable tool for businesses both in the Nashville area as well as businesses considering relocating to this community,” says Darrell Freeman, chairman of the Chamber Board of Governors. “This publication continues to help Nashville tell its great story of economic and cultural success.”

Freeman notes that during 2007 and 2008, Nashville continued to win accolades from a variety of sources, including:

No. 1 among state economic development agencies in the 2007 Competitiveness Award, winning by a margin of nearly 30 points (Site Selection, May 2008).

No. 1 on the list of the best U.S. cities for relocating singles (Worldwide ERC & Primacy Relocation, October 2006).

No. 1 among the nation’s metros for business relocations and expansions (Expansion Management magazine, January-February 2006).

No. 1 on the list of the Top 50 Smartest Places To Live in the United States (Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine, June 2006).

No. 2 on the list of best large-market cities for families to relocate (Primacy Relocation, July 2007).

No. 6 on the list of best U.S. cities to do business (MarketWatch.com, September 2007).
