Incentives for New Job Creation - Either Industrial Relocation or Expansion

The State of Tennessee offers an attractive incentive package for industrial job creation, either from relocation to the state or an expansion. Hickman County is one of the counties that qualify for the highest level of the Jobs Tax Credit through the Rural Opportunity Initiative. For more information, contact me or view more information on the Tennessee Dept. of Economic & Community Development website at http://www.tennessee.gov/ecd/gov07/docs/ToolKit.pdf .

Resource for Arts & Crafts Entrepreneurs

For anyone looking to sell their arts & crafts products, check out www.etsy.com . The website was recently featured in the Sunday New York Times and looks to be a good way for rural entrepreneurs to reach a large, trendy group of customers. My wife says the stuff on Etsy is WAY COOL!

Happy New Year

If your company is looking to relocate or expand into an area with a rural work ethic, yet near Nashville and I-40 and I-65, Hickman County, Tennessee could be your home in 2008. There are buildings and greenfield sites available!
