Venture Nashville reports on a promising alliance between a Vancouver company and Murfreesboro-based entrepreneur Jimmy Davis that looks set to bring to the region 250 jobs making energy-efficient street lighting.
He added that Middle Tennessee’s slumping automotive related companies “are all looking for another industry” and have exactly the capabilities needed by the green industries he’s targeted. “We think we let the [economic emphasis] on the auto industry run way too long,” he added.
