Parkway Knows Nashville
Located in the north central part of Tennessee and within a
one-day drive of half of the U.S. population, Nashville is the
capital of Tennessee and home of the nation's country music
industry. With a population of approximately 1.2 million residents,
Nashville is the 38th most populous metro area in the nation.
Nashville's business-friendly climate, central location,
well-developed infrastructure and low cost of living have lured
several major companies to the Nashville Metro area. These
companies include Nissan North America, Louisiana Pacific, Saturn,
Bridgestone/Firestone, Caterpillar, Trane, Dell, Hewlett Packard,
and Gaylord Entertainment. Nashville was recently rated by Moody's
as the eighth most diversified economy in the U.S., by Business
Outlook magazine as the second most recession-proof economy in
America, and by Entrepreneur magazine as the ninth best U.S. city
for entrepreneurs.
