*In 2025, the IMPACT Series will focus on one topic over four sessions. Inspired by the work to attract Blue Oval to West Tennessee and Volkswagen to East Tennessee, the series will provide a high-level overview of the process to take development projects of any size from concept to completion. 

By the end of the series, municipalities should have a better understanding of what is required to organize the resources, align the key stakeholders and attract new business to support the project’s success. The series is valuable for all municipal officials and staff especially those engaged in economic and community development.
