About Rural Services

Tennessee is the kind of place people want to live, work and raise a family. Our vibrant communities across the state provide a quality of life that is second to none and are places anyone would be proud to call home.

 

ECD’s Rural Development Division uses existing programs to connect rural communities to resources and encourage them to identify and develop strategies around their unique existing assets – all to attract high quality jobs and advance rural Tennessee economically.
