Description
Tennessee Certified Sites is a site-selection resource presented by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD). It highlights properties across the state that have been fully vetted to rigorous site-selection standards and are described as shovel-ready, helping businesses find locations where they can get started quickly. The collection includes industrial sites, industrial parks, business parks, and corporate centers.
The directory brings together property listings and location information through list and map views. Individual listings identify each property's county, total acreage, and distance to a highway, with links to more detailed profiles. These profiles provide information such as ownership, developable acreage, sale or lease terms, zoning, utilities, rail access, and available technical studies. The resource supports business location decisions rather than awarding research grants or financial support.
