It Counts!

In retail, it may all be about location, location, location. We get it. But in manufacturing, we know other considerations may top the list. And, the top 10 site selection factors can change from year to year - certainly from decade to decade.

Skilled Workforce

Today the overall most important site selection factor is availability of skilled labor force. Since 2015, Gallatin has added and filled over 5,600 jobs. In 2019 alone, we've added more than 600 new jobs and the diversification of the employment base. 

Highway Accessibility

We’re along the northern loop around Nashville, Tennessee. Here’s a map to show you the major highway infrastructure and a chart to show you how far a tank of gas will take a truck.

Quality of Life

If that’s your top factor, we certainly have you covered on that one. We’re 25 minutes from downtown Nashville, but you don’t have to leave Gallatin for good entertainment or recreation. The list goes on. We’ll be happy to tell you how we match up to any of your site selection factors. It’s what we do. And, we’ll shoot straight with you.
