On Friday, the recipients of the most recent allocations from the Tennessee Agricultural Enterprise Fund were revealed. This fund serves as a vital program designed to encourage the growth of new and expanding businesses within the agricultural, food, and forestry sectors across Tennessee. By doing so, it aims to foster job creation and stimulate economic development, particularly in rural communities.
Among the beneficiaries from Lawrence County are several notable forest product companies. These include Lexington Logging, Pallets Ready, and Tennessee Valley Commodities, which specializes in grain storage. The support from the Enterprise Fund is expected to bolster these businesses, contributing to the overall economic vitality of the region.
