With new industrial park space and road extension
The clock is ticking for Gallatin to lure at least one business within the next three years to the second phase of its industrial park, or the city will have to Brand Levitra 20mg pay back a grant it got from the state.
Gallatin used the money to fund the extension of Gateway Drive. If a business does not locate in the new section of the industrial park, taxpayers will have to foot the nearly $1.9 million bill to repay the Tennessee Department of Transportation for the grant.
James Fenton, executive director of the Gallatin Economic Development Agency, said that he is "100 percent confident" the city will Levitra Generic Online be able to attract at least one business to the 207 acre park within the three year time frame, which began Aug. 1.
"We have people already coming back for a second look at this point in time, and Levitra Vs Cialis the road has been here less than a month," he said. "Realistically, if I Buy Viagra Australia Over Counter didn't get somebody in Cialis 20mg Price Australia here in three years, I probably wouldn't have a job. I bought a house here, so I'm very confident."
The Levitra Vs Cialis new city owned industrial site, which was purchased in 2008 for about $4 million, sits adjacent to the other industrial park that is about 90 percent full.
Only two lots totaling 20 acres remain in the original park, which are not the most desirable locations Kamagra Oral Jelly Sydney for new prospects, Fenton said. One lot is 15 acres and topographically challenged, Fenton said. The other is a 5 acre lot that may be too small for companies needing more room.
"Both of Cheap Cialis 5mg Uk those kind of disqualify us from a lot of the companies that are looking," he said. "We hadn't had a real solid prospect visit all year until we got this open, and now they're coming in and looking."
Selling the second phase of the industrial park was Fenton's first major task when he became director of the agency in 2012. The opening of the new section of the road has changed the way business prospects view the site, he said.
"We had people come out and look before, but we were in a four wheel drive (vehicle) bouncing around," he said. "Now, they don't have to create a vision in their head. The vision has been created for them, so it makes it a true industrial center as opposed to a farm."
Gallatin Mayor Jo Ann Graves doesn't foresee a problem with meeting the three year deadline.
"This new road is a step forward in economic growth for the city of Gallatin," she said. "If somebody wants to come we are ready, so I feel very confident."
