WELCOME!
Franklin’s economy is one of the healthiest and strongest in the nation. A diverse business climate shelters the city from problems associated with a fluctuating economy. While a broad-based economy is certainly a plus, companies considering expansion or relocating to Frank
lin find other advantages too. For example, the Greater Nashville area provides an abundance of suppliers and services in support of one another. Employers’ costs for salaries, benefits, and overhead are lower than in other regions and without a doubt, Franklin’s unusually rich quality of life and Southern hospitality offers ample opportunity for companies and their employees families to enjoy and become involved in making Franklin even a better place to live, work, and play.
Assistant City Administrator Vernon J. Gerth has made retaining and growing businesses and jobs locally a priority. Together with the State of Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development and Williamson County Office of Economic Development existing and prospective business representatives can be assured they will receive prompt and personal attention.
Please contact Vernon if you or your business are:
• Encountering barriers with City, County, or State entities
• Anticipating to expand your facility
• Considering moving operations to or from Franklin
• Having difficulty finding qualified employees
