Figure I'd post this here, since the main TN forum is kinda dead and Clarksville is closest to Nashville, not that much farther in distance from Nashville than Murfreesboro.
Although I'm not sure why Cookeville has its own sub-forum, over Clarksville...
Anyways...

1800 jobs coming to TN.

Hankook Tire plant to bring 1,800 jobs to Tenn.

Huge boost to the Clarksville area, which has been concerned with the effects of the shutdown and sequestration of the Army there.

Because threads about Clarksville are in the Nashville forum (such as this thread). Cookeville is too far to be part of another city's forum. In addition, there are a lot more threads about Cookeville than there are about Clarksville, for whatever reason.

But back to the topic of this thread: this is definitely good news for Clarksville! Even though I am in principle opposed to huge government give-aways in order to lure companies to town, I'm sure the 1800 jobs at this factory and the hundreds of other jobs at nearby businesses will help the Clarksville/Hopkinsville economy tremendously. I do think it's interesting that Hankook apparently had its choice of locations in Tennessee, including the abandoned Goodyear factory in Union City, and still chose Clarksville. Says a lot about Clarksville.

I concur. I saw it earlier, left it alone and didn't comment. You placed it appropriately and thanks for sharing!

And kudos on the new jobs!
