Available Buildings In Greene County
The Partnership's Economic Development Department encourages members to assist with keeping the
GreeneCountyProspector.com building database current. Anyone owning an industrial or commercial property that is available for development should contact the Partnership to add it to the site. Those who already have property marketed on the site are asked to inform the Partnership if it is still available or should be removed. The database is the Partnership's main resource when responding to requests from local and out-of-state prospects so this assistance is important to providing relevant and updated information regarding Greeneville and Greene County opportunities. For more information, contact Ashley Shelton at 638-4111 or email
[email protected].

| Education & Workforce Development |
Eighth Grade Career Day
The Education & Workforce Development Department hosted Eighth Grade Career Day field trips May 10-12 for the Greene County School System. More than 390 students participated in the two-hour events. Based on an assessment earlier in the school year, students were placed in one of the five career pathways and each group visited a local business within that field. The pathways include health science, business/finance, educational/professional services, transportation, and manufacturing. Students heard discussions on job opportunities, required skills, work ethics, completing an application, preparing for an interview, and workplace safety. Many of the groups were also able to tour the facilities. Special thanks to Mark Norman, secondary supervisor and CTE director with Greene County Schools, and the guidance counselors with the Greene County Elementary Schools, for their assistance in coordinating these trips.

The Education & Workforce Development Department coordinated Manufacturing Presentations for the Greene County High Schools by area manufacturers May 17-18. Students heard discussions on job opportunities, required skills, work ethics, completing an application, preparing for an interview, what the companies are looking for in an employee, what they manufacture and workplace safety. Special thanks to John Deere Power Products, HUF, North America, American Greetings, DTR Tennessee, Packaging Services Inc. of Tennessee (PSI), MECO, LMR and Parker Hannifin.
