I heard that this was tied up with Attorneys; overseas....perhaps regarding a sale of Uno. City is waiting until it sorts out. I did hear that it is an automotive parts distributor...we'll see. Sometimes...no news is bad news as well.

I guess this is still a distinct possibility since the city council last night approved a couple of resolutions related to Project UNO:
  • resolution R141124, authorizing the Industrial Development Board to negotiate/accept payments in-lieu of ad valorem taxes and authorize the city manager to execute all instruments necessary to effectuate same
  • resolution R141125, authorizing the submission of a grant application to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development for FastTrack Economic Development Funds, and if approved, those funds would provide assistance in site preparation relative to Project UNO
I'm still very impressed by the veil of secrecy that surrounds this project. I hope we'll know something definite soon.

Good to see. A few more details in today's H-C. It looks like this still has traction although it's saying there will be just over 900 jobs, not 1100 as previously reported.

Cookeville council moves Uno forward

900 is still huge for a city the size of Cookeville. I'm happy to see this moving forward.

Agreed, particularly after the 700 new jobs for Academy Sports and the 200+ jobs for Hoover/Oreck have been announced in the last couple of months. The scuttlebutt is that this is going to be a car parts manufacturer and not just another warehouse or distribution center. It's good to see manufacturing jobs coming back to the area.

ha That would be awesome! I love Fiat. But is there a Fiat factory in the US? I've heard it may be a Hyundai parts factory.

Since we are speculating. Fiat does own Chrysler. Maybe it will a parts manufacturer for Chrysler products.

I wonder if this is actually a move from our neighboring county to the East....Ficosa a multinational corporation (Italian owned....I think)....as I understand it (what used to be called Delbar) wants to consolidate three facilities under one roof, but is not finding the adequate assistance from local government, i.e. tax incentives, to do so as they desire.

I am not sure how many folks they employ, but one person told me that it might be 800 to 1,000. This manufacturer makes automotive parts for Volkswagen...I believe.
