Good work


Networks Sullivan Partnership and the city's economic development staff were recently successful in acquiring a grant from the State of Tennessee that will be used to assist a company move from outside the state to Bristol in the coming months.

Importantly, the grant facilitated a decision by the company that will place into productive use a long vacant manufacturing facility, create 30 jobs, and  result in an investment in new machinery and equipment of nearly  four million dollars.

Thanks to the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development, Richard Venable of Networks, and Mike Sparks and Kristi Haulsee for their collective good work.
