past decade, growth and development in the Greene County area has been extraordinary,
surpassing all expectations and drawing both regional and national media recognition
for the community.
The community's diverse industrial base of more than 90 industries manufacture a variety of products -- from skyscraper trusses and
rollover cabs for heavy construction equipment to gift wrapping paper and bottled water products. Since the formation of the Greene
County Partnership in 1993, more than 16 manufacturing firms have located or expanded existing facilities in Greene County.
New industry locations and expansions have resulted in more than 10,000 new jobs, and more than $315 million in corporate investments,
providing a major economic boost to the local economy.
The effect of this phenomenal growth is reflected in all aspects of the community -- from industrial facilities to educational
institutions.
Greene County is a community that takes great pride in expanding its cutting-edge technology while carefully preserving its priceless and
unique history. The graceful blending of the future and past make it a truly extraordinary community.
This ongoing upward trend in growth and development in the community continues to draw recognition from across the country. Named 39th in
a listing of 100 best small towns in the nation, the community was also listed as one of the 50 best small towns in the south and 12th in
the nation this past year for new corporate facilities.
