Industry

The Middle Tennessee region's central location has made it a center of transportation and distribution in the United States. The area is geographically situated within 650 miles of 50 percent of the U.S. population, and is a one day truck drive from 75 percent of U.S. markets. In March 2006, Site Selection magazine ranked Lewisburg, Tennessee 14th in the nation as the most ideal micropolitan area for relocation and expansion projects. When combined with the area's outstanding interstate system, along with excellent rail, ground and air transportation, it is easy to see why the region has become a draw for distributors and manufacturers, as well as headquarters needing quick and easy access to cities around the world.

Testimonials

We moved from Blountsville, AL to Berlin (an unincorporated community outside of Lewisburg) two years ago to be near our daughter, son-in-law, and granddog, 'Charlie Brown' who live in Franklin. My husband, Alton and I chose the area because, when we rode through, we were so impressed with the beauty of it all. We rode by Bethlehem Baptist and I told Alton 'that's where I'm going to church, find me a house near by!' We worked with a local realtor who stayed in touch with us, showing us houses as they became available. We bought the first one that we walked into and fell in love with. I laugh when I tell people that we actually found our church before our house. I am retired from Bellsouth with 33 years of service, and Alton retired from construction. I really enjoy living in the country and being close to shopping. At the age of 70 I exercise daily, and feel so safe in this community. Everybody has been so kind. We really love our new home.          -Rene and Alton Massey
