Thank you Mayor @westonwamp and @SenBoWatson for the opportunity to join my fellow commissioners at @TNEnvironment and @myTDOT for Hamilton County’s State of the County yesterday. That invitation itself speaks volumes about the strong partnership between state and local leadership in Tennessee.
Our local leaders are the boots on the ground helping inform what economic success looks like in their communities, and together, we work to make that growth happen.

Tennessee is thrilled to welcome the Super Bowl to Nashville in 2030. 🏈
This is more than a major sporting event — it’s a transformational opportunity for our city and state that will drive tourism, hospitality, entertainment and job creation while showcasing Tennessee on a global stage.
Today’s announcement also reinforces why we invested in a world-class new stadium: to attract globally significant events like the Super Bowl and position Nashville and Tennessee as premier destinations for sports, entertainment and tourism. 👏
And this is just the beginning.
Gov. Bill Lee@GovBillLee
Tennessee is proud to host the 2030 Super Bowl in Music City. 🏈 Super Bowl LXIV will drive tourism and fuel economic growth for communities across our state, and we look forward to welcoming @NFL football fans to Tennessee.

As energy demand continues to rise, innovative companies like Shoals are helping lead the way, and we’re proud they’ve chosen to grow right here in the Volunteer State. 🙌 #McWhorterOnTheMove&D come together, and it’s happening right here in Tennessee. 🙌 #McWhorterOnTheMove

.@GovBillLee, Deputy Governor/@CommishTNECD Stuart C. McWhorter and @SenatorHagerty met with Her Excellency Kyung-wha Kang, @RokEmbDC Ambassador, earlier today to discuss strengthening Tennessee’s longstanding partnership with South Korea. The conversation focused on supporting Korean companies and investment, accelerating U.S.-Korea cooperation in the nuclear sector and expanding Korean studies and cultural exchange opportunities. Since 2019, South Korea has emerged as Tennessee’s No. 1 foreign direct investment partner for jobs and capital investment, with Korean companies committing to create 6,600+ job commitments and invest over $14 billion in capital statewide.

Tennessee’s momentum is no accident, it’s built on intentional investment, collaboration and a clear vision for growth. 📈
As @bizfacilities highlights, the state is driving investment across advanced manufacturing, energy, tech and logistics, while leading in next-gen nuclear innovation and programs like IRIS, which incentivize companies to partner with Tennessee-based research institutions on innovative projects.
A high-volume, high-impact approach delivering results across every region. 🙌

Since 2019, TNECD has awarded more than $1 billion in funding to expand broadband infrastructure and digital skills across Tennessee.
That investment is powering real change on the ground. In @MetroNashville, the @NashvilleMDHA used a TNECD digital skills grant to provide residents with free laptops along with hands-on training to use them. For some, it was their very first time ever touching a computer.
