Middle Tennessee Area Information Middle Tennessee... Middle Tennessee, unofficially the area from the Tennessee River in the West to the Cumberland Plateau in the East, is one of the nation's fastest growing regions. While the landscape is often rolling countryside, the northern and eastern boundaries tend to be more hilly. Lakes provide boating and fishing recreation in many counties. And, the Smoky Mountains in the eastern part of the state and the Mississippi River and Memphis in the west are only a day trip away. Residents enjoy four distinct seasons. Fall is colorful with often brilliant foliage, winters are relatively mild, spring is cool and green, and summers are warm, but retain the greens of spring late into the season. The Economic Climate... Middle Tennessee, with Nashville as its anchor, has long been noted as the state's center of government and the world's center for Country Music. However, Middle Tennessee offers much more. There is a growing and diverse business climate that now includes a burgeoning auto production industry with Nissan's assembly plant in Rutherford County and the GM Saturn assembly plant in Maury County. Major national health service providers, printers, and insurance companies comprise only a small part of the varied business scene. Excellent public and private education, no state income tax, an overall low property tax rate, favorable work laws, along with Tennessee state government's aggressive pursuit of businesses to relocate to the area, have led many national companies to call the Middle Tennessee home. Additionally, the regional draw of the Tennessee Titans NFL football team and the Nashville Predators NHL hockey team makes recruiting employees from all parts of the nation easy.
