More information about Fitzgerald's expansion into White County. Fitzgerald has purchased the entire industrial park that was recently developed adjacent to the Upper Cumberland Regional Airport on the northern edge of White County just south of Cookeville with plans for more development in the future.

Today's paper has more info about Fitzgerald's expansion in Overton County and their new facility in White County. The company started in Kentucky and moved into Tennessee a couple of years ago and has several locations in the Upper Cumberland region. The new facility in White County has 16 bays and will service Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, and the Overton County facility is adding 32 bays. With the ability to pick up trucks from around the country and bring them back to this area for major repairs, Fitzgerald is in a hiring spree and is willing to train new workers.

Fitzgerald has truck dealerships in Virginia and Alabama

The Fitzgeralds are excited about partnering with different schools to fill in the gaps of what is needed in the workforce.

"We are passionate about creating high-quality jobs in rural communities," Tommy Fitzgerald Sr. said. "We will do everything we can to put people to work."

The partnership between Tennessee Tech and Fitzgerald Automotive Co. is going to a whole new level with the announcement of the creation of the Tennessee Tech Center for Intelligent Mobility.

The Tennessee Tech Center for Intelligent Mobility, which will be housed at the Fitzgerald Industrial Park in White County, brings together TTU and Tennessee College of Applied Technology Livingston to support research education and training in the region and to promote optimization in the trucking industry.

"As partners, we are answering the call of the governor, of industrial leaders and local governments, our citizens and, most of all, our students," TTU President Phil Oldham said. "This will be the first partnership in the south to bring together an industry partner, a university with research and development capabilities and a center for applied technology to create a center for mobility technologies."

The approximately 80,000 square foot facility is expected to be complete in 2018.

Did he really say "center?" It's a College of Applied Technical College....technical college for short.
