Tennessee also has lower corporate taxes, which has really helped the job market around Nashville.
Nissan USA moved its corporate HQ from L.A., to Franklin, literally, 2 miles from where I used to live. I'm still sending my resume in on every job opening there.
You never know!
It was probably a 2 part deal. The Corporate HQ would be closer to its main USA plant (located in Smyrna, which is literally 5 miles from where I currently live
), and they would be paying lower state corporate taxes and local property taxes. Williamson Co. isn't cheap, but I betcha its a helluva lot cheaper on business/property taxes than L.A.
