NASHVILLE – Grundy County’s Pelham Industrial Park has been awarded a $500,000 site development grant by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.
The money is part of $5 million awarded statewide to 13 projects in rural areas announced Wednesday by Gov. Bill Lee and ECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe.
In the case of Pelham, the money will be spent to grade nine acres, extend an access road and do water and sewer line work.
Lee congratulated the communities, saying in a news release that “one of Tennessee’s major initiatives is helping rural communities, and with the assistance of these grants, these communities will be better positioned for economic success and investment.”
He said he looks forward to “seeing these communities continue to grow and excel.”
