Loudon County = Good Business for Retailers
The potential for increased retail business in Loudon County is growing and the Loudon County Economic Development Agency wants to make sure that retailers and developers know about their attractive demographic information. Patrick Phillips, president of the Loudon County Economic Development Agency, said in the Knoxville News Sentinel, on June 18th, that Loudon County presents “a tremendous opportunity for retailers” due to its…
strong population growth, rising personal income and real estate values, and has property available convenient to Interstates 75 and 40 and roads that are easily accessible from Knox, Blount, Roane, Anderson and Monroe counties. “Loudon County has enjoyed outstanding growth in population, jobs and income due to the area’s natural beauty, plus its industrial and education base. With all of this business and residential development, we are encouraged that the retail sector will catch up,” Phillips said.
A more detailed analysis of these postive economic factors are outlined in a press release issued by the Loudon County Economic Development Agency on June 17, 2008.
