Crossville/Cumberland County Industrial Site Named a Select Tennessee Certified Industrial Site

The Tennessee Dept. of Economic and Community Development (TNCED) has named the 20-acre site in the Interchange Business Park near I-40 and 127-N as a Select Tennessee Certified Site.

The site is currently being developed with a ready for construction pad for a building up to 200,000 square feet.

The Select Tennessee program began in 2012 and 57 sites across the state have been certified.

“Having a strong lineup of shovel-ready sites in Tennessee is one of our main advantages when recruiting companies to our state,” TNCED Commissioner Bob Rolfe said. “With the assistance of the Select Tennessee Certified Site program, we are not only making sure our Tennessee communities are ahead of the game in economic development, it also reassures companies that Tennessee is taking the initiative to make sure our state is the perfect location for companies looking to build new manufacturing facilities or expand existing operations.”

To date, 16 companies have invested $1.5 billion in capital investment to construct facilities on certified sites, accounting for more than 6,600 new job commitments.

The Select Tennessee certification process ensures that each certified site meets high-quality standards. Qualifications for certification include having at least 20 acres of developable land for industrial operations, documented environmental conditions and geotechnical analysis, existing onsite utilities or a formal plan to extend utilities to the site, and truck-quality road access.
