Greene County Selected to Participate in
Property Evaluation Program
|
|
The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) announced on Thursday, April 29 that Greene County was 1 of 4 counties selected to participate in the latest round of the Select Tennessee Property Evaluation Program.
Since its inception in 2015, PEP has helped improve the inventory of industrial sites and buildings across the state. The program evaluates potential industrial properties, advising counties on industrial site improvements and where investments may be most beneficial. PEP originated from TNECD’s Select Tennessee Certified Site Program. With assistance of site selection firm Austin Consulting, PEP provides participating counties with guidance on site planning for future industrial development projects.
Greene County was selected based on the demonstrated local need for industrial properties and the county’s ability to assemble properties with viable market potential.
