During a business relocation/expansion decision, the traditional analysis and numbers only go so far. When other important variables are given consideration, the scales can tip in favor of a region that not only meets the objective numbers but excels in the more subjective, sometimes intangible benefits often referred to as quality of life.

Maintaining the region�s spectacular beauty, independent spirit and quality of life is very important to the people of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia, both those who were born and raised here and those who have chosen to make this area their home. With many cultural and recreational opportunities, mild climate with four distinct seasons, low crime rates, and some of the friendliest people you will find anywhere, our region boasts a quality of life that most places only wish. Come see why our entire region (and all three major cities) was the first in the country to be awarded the much prized National Civic League All-American City Award.
