December 30, 2009

County Mayor Ernest Burgess told WGNS’ Action Line listeners Wednesday morning (12/30/09) that November sales tax collections for Rutherford County showed an increase when compared to the same period in 2008. In looking ahead at 2010, Burgess said expansions at Nissan to produce electric cars as well as the Veterans Administration call center being located in Smyrna are other signs of economic improvement locally. In addition, the unemployment picture for this county has decreased one-tenth of a per cent for November when compared to October. New data shows 9 per cent of Rutherford County’s workforce is unemployed.
