Tennessee Is Good for Business!

        In both Memphis and Nashville I know, it is becoming more and more popular for families to relocate in from other parts of the country for business reasons. We are attracting larger firms as they expand and  here in Memphis we have had several large companies move their headquarters here; such as International Paper, Schering Plough, FedEx has been here and other. We welcome all to the wonderful state of Tennessee!

        In early April, FORBES magazine released a ranking of the "Best
Places for Businesses and Careers" nationwide.  Tennessee did VERY well
in their rankings, with three cities in the top 100 nationwide:

        - Knoxville ranked 5th in the nation.
        - Nashville ranked 9th.
        - Kingsport ranked 93rd.

        The magazine also ranked major metropolitan areas across the
nation where the "Cost of Doing Business" would be lowest:

        - Kingsport ranked 3rd in the nation.
        - Knoxville ranked 14th.
        - Clarksville ranked 22nd.
        - Chattanooga ranked 24th.
        - Nashville ranked 42nd.
        - Memphis ranked 78th.

        Among smaller metro areas:
        - Johnson City ranked 10th in the nation.
        - Cleveland ranked 53rd.
        - Jackson ranked 69th.
        - Morristown ranked 95th.
