Summary
County economic development officials applied for a $75,000 3-Star grant with Centerville, Main Street and the Chamber to start an entrepreneurship program; officials also reported local industry growth.
Hickman County’s economic development office applied last week for a 3-Star grant seeking $75,000 to launch an entrepreneurship program in partnership with the town of Centerville, Main Street and the local Chamber of Commerce.
The county’s economic development director told the commission the application aims to fund the entrepreneurship program discussed at a recent town hall and that the county expects to learn whether the grant is awarded in the coming weeks.
The director also reported several confidential visits with local industries and state partners indicating “explosive growth” among existing businesses and potential expansions that could create workforce opportunities; no specifics were released pending firm announcements.
Officials said they will participate in an upcoming South Central Tennessee Development District stakeholder meeting to connect with peer directors and follow up on regional development coordination.
