TRANSCRIPT
Annual Report 2016
In the past there were two chartered organizations operating within Obion County with the responsibility
of generating new growth in the areas of Tourism, Housing, Commercial, and Industrial Development (The
Obion County Chamber of Commerce since 1922 and the Obion County Industrial Development Corpora-
tion since 1987). In many instances these agencies encountered duplication in both program delivery and
expenditure. In an effort to improve efficiency in programmatic and budgetary areas, the two agencies
formed the "Obion County Joint Economic Development Council" (JEDC) in early 2004.
The JEDC acts as the administrative organization of the Obion County Chamber of Commerce and the Obi-
on County Industrial Development Corporation. The JEDC’s overall objective is to keep abreast of munici-
pal and county government activities and legislation dealing with commerce or infrastructure and changes
in the law that will affect retail or industry.

For the JEDC to become and remain an effective resource and advo-
cate for the local community, the organization, its staff, and Board of
Directors, we must establish and maintain an effective working rela-
tionship with the elected officials at the local, regional, state and fed-
eral levels. In addition, strong ties must be formed with regional, state
and federal agency personnel to ensure the strongest advocacy possi-
ble for the local community. Active liaison activities between these
groups is essential for success and is an ongoing integral part of the
JEDC work scope. All state and federal agencies, private sector business development organizations, as well
as regional advocacy groups distribute information to their membership and to the general population
through regular and annual seminars and conferences. It is essential that JEDC staff attend all such events
to keep abreast of new information program changes that will affect funds delivery or impact local busi-
ness, and to maintain a strong relationship with service providers.

Obion County Farm Bureau Legislative Breakfast
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Economic and Community Development Commis-sioner Randy Boyd announced today that 15 communities will receive $5.7 million in Site Development Grants to prepare eco-nomic development sites for market. The Site Development Grant program is part of the larger Rural Economic Development Fund announced by Haslam and Boyd last October. The grants assist communities in fi-nalizing infrastructure and engineering im-provements for project ready certified sites. The grants are intended to help rural communities overcome barriers to site certification and prepare them to receive an economic development project. "Through this investment, we expect to see more op-portunities and deal flow in rural Tennessee by assisting communities in overcoming obstacles for certifica-tion or by improving a Certified Site," Assistant Commissioner for Rural Development Amy New added. "We want to partner with communities to complete the finishing touches on their sites so that we see more gold shovels tossing the ceremonial dirt." An advisory committee made up of staff from the department, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennes-see Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture selected these 15 sites from a pool of 24 applications. The application process was competitive with grants awarded based on benefit to the community, economic impact and projected return on investment. The Union City Northwest Tennessee Regional Industrial Center $450,000-Grading of approximately 15.5 acres to create a pad ready site for a 105,000 square foot building that is expandable to 200,000 square feet.

Community Development
THEC Awards OC Chamber $225,000 for Tennessee Reconnect Community
These Tennessee Reconnect Communities (TRCs) will join the three existing programs which launched earlier this year serving the regions of Middle Tennessee, Upper Cumberland, and the Southwest Tennessee region. Together, these eight centers will provide adults across Tennessee with free advising, career counseling, and a personalized path to and through college. The TRCs' collective impact strategies engage higher education institutions, local government, local employers, community organizations, and adult learners alike. "Through launching the first three Tennessee Reconnect Communities, we have realized how crucial locally-based collaboratives are in achieving the Drive to 55," said Jessica Gib-son, assistant executive director at the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. "Our mis-
sion is to make these personalized advising services available to any adult Tennessean who wants to return to school to pursue a credential or degree." This initiative is based on The Graduate! Network's (TGN) proven model for improving outcomes for adult learners. TGN is a non-profit organization whose work is based on collective impact strategies and bringing together entities from different sectors to in-novate ways to increase college attainment among adults. The partnership between Tennessee and TGN provides the communities with training, guidance, support, and information to develop sustainable and locally-focused Drive to 55 efforts for adults. Each TRC grantee will adapt this service model to their local context, unique strengths, community partnerships, and collaborations. As seen with the current TRCs, this will result in a community-based effort of service delivery to adults that is unique to each community's needs and characteristics. "There has never been a better time for adults in Tennessee to complete a certificate or degree," said THEC Interim Executive Direc-tor Russ Deaton. "The Tennessee Reconnect Communities are one facet of programs that will provide adults the support they need to guide them through the process of returning to higher education." The most recent round of TRC grants was awarded to five regions across the state; grant amounts include start-up funds of $225,000 per community and include technical assistance provided through The Graduate! Network. Implementation will begin June 2016 and the community programs will launch in November 2016. The grants were awarded through a competitive application process. The TRC grant program is administered by THEC and subgrants are funded by the State of Tennessee with technical assistance funded by Lumina Foundation. * Northwest TN-Lead Organization: Obion County Chamber of Commerce-Counties Served: Dyer, Lake, Lauderdale, Obion
OCCHS Hosts Obion County Workforce Development Officials
George Leake, CTE Director for the Obion County School System recently invited workforce development officials to OCCHS to show off the school's career and
technical education facilities. The culinary class prepared breakfast for the group while a nursing class demonstrated CPR skills.
Workforce Development
Dear Local Chamber Members and Obion County Citizens, As we transition into a new year, I would like to share with you a few roles our Chamber is striving to ac-complish for our local industry and business communities. Some of these include, collaborating with state organizations that aid in the expansion and growth of local businesses, assisting in workforce development programs, and acting as a liaison between the business community and local, state, and federal govern-ments. To help accomplish these roles, we recently hosted a Workforce Development breakfast where we introduced local industry and small business leaders to local contacts from our state organizations, pro-grams, and business service consultants. Those leaders were: Mr. Andre Temple - Solutions Consultant for the Center for Industrial Services (UT CIS) 731-425-4740, [email protected] Marcia Fields - Business Services Coordinator for the NW TN Workforce Obion County Office 731-884-3868, [email protected] Janna Hellums - Northwest Regional Business Development Consultant 731-986-4881, [email protected] Jackie Sand – Director of Northwest Tennessee Reconnect Community 731-592-0805, [email protected] George Leake – Obion County Career and Technical Director 731-885-9743, x 2051 – [email protected] A portion of the above services are overlooked by industries due to the day to day operations and responsi-bilities they face in their respected businesses. The sheer number of programs available can be overwhelm-ing, but they benefit both large and small businesses in our area. Some of the programs offered are: Re-cruitment and Training, Incumbent Worker Training Grants, Worker Opportunity Tax Credits, Growth, Sus-tainability, and Regulatory and Performance Solutions. Additional programs offer local contacts for Jobs4TN.gov, Lean Manufacturing & Six Sigma training, ISO 9001 & OSHA training, Tennessee Reconnect for adults wanting to go back to school, and Work Ethics Certification for Obion County High School students. When the chamber hosts these breakfasts and/or short meetings, we allow the presenters to introduce these services and programs so that the attendees can impact some of our local students, employers, job seekers, and current employees in Obion County. These programs help businesses succeed, grow, and cre-ate high quality jobs, develop a quality workforce system to meet the needs of area employers and job seekers, and help our state’s adults enter higher education to gain new skills and to advance in the work-place. I hope you have a successful 2017, and I look forward to continuing serving as your chamber president. For more information about becoming a Chamber member, benefits of being a member, or questions about the above topics, please contact our Chamber Office at 731-885-0211. Sincerely, Greg Dozier Chamber Board President, 2016-2017
