Graves County Economic Development (GCED) has an exciting new video to promote the most recent expansion of the Hickory Industrial Park.
Sponsored by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the video highlights the “Keith Property,” a $3.5 million expansion of the Hickory Industrial Park, funded by state grants and federal dollars. The site features a pre-graded, build-ready site with utilities and direct access to Highway 45 and is located just four miles from Interstate-69.
“TVA is an outstanding partner and we are fortunate to have their support,” said GCED President Jason Lemle. “We have been working hard to build out the infrastructure necessary to bring good jobs to Graves County. By producing this video, TVA is helping us tell our story to a worldwide business audience. We are excited about this addition to our growing portfolio of digital marketing tools.”
"Partnering with local communities to foster economic growth is essential to TVA's mission. We are proud to support the proactive efforts by Graves County Economic Development to put this site in a more marketable position, and we look forward to future economic growth opportunities in the region." Emily Jones, TVA Regional Economic Development Consultant
