EXISTING BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The backbone of Tullahoma’s economy is our existing, locally based businesses and industries – comprised of small to large enterprises and corporate investors.  More than 80% of new jobs in Tennessee develop from the expansion of established industries rather than new industry recruitment.

Our community is committed to working closely with local businesses to help them prosper. We are constantly evaluating how government, the Chamber and other organizations respond to the needs of area businesses to ensure that we provide whatever resources are needed to encourage job growth and retention.

Expressing appreciation for established industries and acknowledging their contributions reinforce their commitment to the community.

Current Programs

Visitation Program
Chamber representatives contact businesses and meet with key personnel to express appreciation of the companies contributions to the community.
