Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce
The Nashville Area Existing Business Team was formed by the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce's Partnership 2010 initiative to support the retention and expansion of existing businesses by proactively addressing issues of concern through public/private partnerships. The team was created to promote job retention, new job growth and expansion of facilities.
Jack Bovender, president and CEO of HCA and Partnership 2010 co-chairman, announced during the Partnership 2010 annual meeting that with employment growth of 19,386 (11,500 goal); population growth of 33,602 (31,752 goal); personal income growth of $1,842 per capita ($1,353 goal); and 77 corporate relocations and expansions (60 goal) this past fiscal year, the Nashville region continues to ride an unprecedented wave of momentum.
"We are aware of the tremendous success Nashville has experienced in terms of economic development the last several years, so to exceed our goals again in 2006-2007 is quite a remarkable
achievement," said Bovender. "The fact that we are not just adding jobs but also increasing personal income is a sign that we are adding the right kinds of jobs to the region. Bizjournals recently issued a national study that ranked Nashville third in income growth over the past 25 years."
