Here's what the Chamber says about Nashville's future

The Chamber SaysI get asked almost every day about the future of Nashville and I am extremely optimistic.  It’s not because I sell real estate here.  And it’s not due to the fact that I love living in Nashville. 

It’s because it’s the truth, and I want to show you why I’m 110% sold on the future here in the Music City.  

Last week, I sat in a presentation by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce that showed how well the Nashville economy runs and how it compares to others.  And I want to share it with you.

This is what I learned.

  • Metro Nashville is ranked #11 in population growth
  • Latest statistics show Metro grows by 83 new people every day
  • 46 announced business expansions or relocations since July 1, 2019
  • 71 total business projects in the pipeline totaling 21,298 jobs
  • Ranked #34 Metro in Gross Regional Product [GRP]
  • GRP has a 6.1% annual growth rate vs. 2.1% national GDP growth rate
  • 2.4% local unemployment rate vs 3.5% nationally
  • Nashville’s cost of living index is 94.7 and still below the 100 national average
  • Nashville ranks #2 in job growth at 25.7% since 2008

While our future is bright, Nashville is not perfect.  We have challenges with transportation, affordable housing, workforce participation, and others.  

However, many American cities are struggling with all of these issues on top of an underperforming economy.  

Because the political leadership on both sides of the aisle in Tennessee has been pro-business for some time, I expect they will continue to make the right decisions.  If not, the people in this area are famous for holding their feet to the fire.  

Don’t believe me, then Google “Tennessee Tax Protest” or “Greg Schiano Tennessee.”
