The Anderson County region has enjoyed nearly 600 years of history
- from Indian culture in the 1400s to research and technology
today - and phenomenal growth built on Appalachian foundations.
In an era when quality-of-life issues rank near the top of corporate
relocation decisions, Anderson County is a natural. From ballet
to river rafting, from drama to golf, Anderson County combines
the amenities of big-city business and cultural opportunities
with charming country life. Where else can you hike some of the
most breathtaking scenery by day and enjoy a world-class symphony
in the evening? East Tennessee beauty sweetens the pot with lower
business and living costs, excellent educational advantages, and
low tax structure.
National business polls continue to call the East Tennessee region
one of the best places in America to live and conduct business.
In the early 1990s, Fortune Magazine touted the region in its
article "The New Promised Land: Tennessee." Anderson County is
located in the heart of the eastern United States and is hospitable
to small and medium sized companies. Business start-ups thrive
as a result of business incubation and nurturing available at
the University of Tennessee, at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(ORNL), and the local community.
During World War II, the city of Oak Ridge was created as a secret
wartime project. The "Atomic City" brought 75,000 construction
workers, technicians, engineers, and top nuclear physicists to
this region at the height of the Manhattan Project. A concentration
of these types of people populates the area to this day.
The people make the difference in Anderson County. Just ask these
satisfied customers:
Jack Ready of Titan Tire:
"Anderson County offers a well trained work force, reasonable
labor rates and a proactive government that responds to the needs
of business."
Dr. Richard Batt (ret.) of DH Compounding:
"I have never regretted the decision to locate our business in
Anderson County. I retired here."
