The county is home to automobile manufacturing, insurance, book distribution, electrical equipment distributors and a baking plant, just to name a few of the largest employers.
Growth continues in the retail and service sectors, and in the professions.
In the past year alone, Middle Tennessee Medical Center, the county's largest hospital, has increased its professional staff of physicians by more than 25 percent. The Smyrna facility is spread over 5.2 million square feet and has the production capacity of 450,000 vehicles. In 1980, when Nissan made its decision to locate in Smyrna, passing by two suburban Atlanta sites, the deciding factors were location, transportation, people and climate. We employ a trained, reliable workforce with a strong work ethic, reside in a clean community with a high quality of life, and are centrally located to all points in the United States for quick, efficient travel. We found the best of all worlds here for Nissan.
