4-14 news: Texas company plans to open new Nashville plant
"We felt like the potential work force was attractive and geographically the location is efficiently located close to raw material sources and our customers," said Jeff Bledsoe, president. The company acquired a facility in Nashville that most recently was a commissary for Shoney’s. It ceased operations last year and has moved to sell assets.
"The company's decision to locate to Nashville is a testament to the region's geographic advantage and economic strength," said Ralph Schulz, president of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. The company is expected to receive incentives for training, tax credits, low-interest loans and energy credits as a result of expanding here.
