Industrial Sites, Great and Small

Posted on December 18, 2008 by Daryl Phillips, CEcD

Not every manufacturer employs hundreds of people. At Hickman County Economic & Community Development Association, we never forget that small manufacturers are important, whether we can help them grow or sustain their current level. Hickman County provides a quality workforce with a rural work ethic, is business friendly, and is near Nashville, Tennessee (we are in the Nashville MSA, in fact.) It can be difficult to find that next place to grow your business and we can help you find your quality of place. We maintain a website for larger industrial sites, www.industrialsites.hickmantn.org, but also have some smaller sites identified at www.industrialsites.hickmantn.org/Misc/index.htm . All our services are provided at no cost to business and industry, including our other business assistance (www.business.hickmantn.org).
