Professional Development You're Invited: 2025 MTAS IMPACT Series

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend the upcoming MTAS IMPACT Series. This year's 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.

You can also find other upcoming MTAS training that may be relevant to those involved in Planning/BZA.
