The Tennessee Town & City, the official publication of the Tennessee Municipal League, featured Bristol's new strategic economic development plan in their January 16th issue.
The article discussed in great detail the backdrop for the study and the resulting public-private and not-for-profit partnerships on which the plan is built.
It was nice to read and have validated that the premise for the plan - strategic partnerships - is a recognized economic development tool with proper public support.
As we move forward, we intend to keep our plan successes in front of our citizens so that they will remain educated on the steps being taken through these multiple partnerships to grow and sustain our economy.
