TN Megasite update

Tennessee's megasites have stood it well, helping win investment here by Hemlock Semiconductors, Volkswagen, and others. Despite some recent flags tossed by some politicians, officials surrounding the proposed megasite West of Jackson say they'll meet the Oct. 31 deadline for exercising land-acquisition options. Yesterday, WPLN Nashville Public Radio reported that the group and the State Department of Economic and Community Development are working hard to finalize land-configuration and -purchase details, prior to a State Building Commission next week.
