Critical factors in a firm's decision to relocate or expand are the availability of labor and labor market conditions. Fayetteville, Lincoln County and the surrounding areas offer a strong, healthy labor supply of well trained or trainable employees. The Tennessee Industrial Training Service can custom design a training program for the specific needs of your firm.
The area can supply ample labor for industry due to an excellent highway system and a moderate climate. These two factors allow the employer to draw labor from a wider geographic area. The labor force in this area is characterized by an eagerness to learn, willingness to work, and a high level of productivity.
The area’s labor pool is further fed by the attrition of military personnel from nearby Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville (which will see a large net gain of personnel due to the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure [BRAC] proceedings) and Arnold Air Force Base in Tullahoma.
