No net increase in jobs, but the consolidation of Nissan North America distribution facilities in Mt. Juliet, and decommissioning smaller Nissan facilities at Smyrna, should be a boon for the lucky community. The Bizjournals broke the news, it seems, with the Twin Cities paper providing pretty interesting background on Opus Northwest, which will do the construction; and, the Nashville sister paper providing more details on Smyrna's loss. Also worth noting in these perilous economic times: Gov. Phil Bredesen and State ECD announced Columbus McKinnon will invest $3.5MM in improving its chain-manufacturing operations near Jackson in Lexington, Tenn., and create perhaps 25 new jobs over the next few years. Retaining nearly 200 jobs total is no small thing, these days.
