Experience Small Town Charm
with Big City Advantages
+
Welcome
Life anywhere in Tipton County is good. The people are friendly. The
neighbors are neighborly. Little league and town festivals are a big part of life.
People can still meet the mayors and community leaders for a cup of coffee.
But our towns have a surprisingly rich and diverse infrastructure
as well as amenities that rival those of towns much larger than our own.
The city and county public works support a substantial and growing industrial
and residential base.
The retail sector draws millions of dollars in revenue from the surrounding area.
Parks and recreational activities bring residents together to play and relax.
Residents will find excellent school options up to master’s level college
studies.
Healthcare offers a surprising range of services including the UT’s School
of Family Medicine at our local hospital.
History and tourism tell the story of Native Americans, early 1800s, and Civil
War eras.
In short, you are invited to come and experience small town charm
with surprising advantages. All of our towns welcome you to visit or reside with.
Come on… we’re expecting you.
Three-Star Program - A Message from the Governor:
Someone once asked me what the Three-Star Program is all about. My
answer was simple--the people. This program is to benefit the people and economy of
Tennessee. It is communities that are dedicated to developing a brighter future. It
is having vision and goals to achieve that vision. It is teamwork and planning. It
is the entire state of Tennessee striving to be the best. The communities that receive
the Three-Star Award have demonstrated the highest levels of economic performance.
They continue to experience success with more new projects, expansions, jobs and capital
investments. These Three-Star Communities are truly the best of the best. The Three-Star
Program was created over twenty years ago to help our state position itself as a leader
in economic and industrial development. The success stories continue to roll in and
the people of Tennessee continue to benefit.
