Growth is great, but when your population grows more than 30% in ten years, things start shifting.
Home prices go up, infrastructure (roads, schools, sewers) can't keep up, and first-time home buyers struggle to enter the competitive market.

A lot of people ask how Tennessee manages to stay a no income tax state and a big part of the answer is tourism.
When visitors come here for concerts, sporting events, or to see attractions like Ruby Falls, they spend money. All that spending generates sales tax revenue that helps fund our schools, highways, parks, and more.
People love to visit and we love to live here, it’s a win-win.
Thanks Hugh Morrow (Ruby Falls) for sharing this info at the Breakfast Club!

Money can't beat talent.

They focused on building an 80-year talent ecosystem, creating pathways that don't require 8-year degrees, and strategically positioning Tennessee as a sustainable second-tier market.
