satalac 831 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 This would be a pretty big get for Nashville or the Middle TN area. Quite a large company and could bring manufacturing jobs here as well. I like our chances. Here is the link from The Tennessean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BnaBreaker 6255 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 I was more excited when I thought it might be a potential 505CST filler, but even still, the more the merrier! Hopefully they choose Davidson County over Wilson! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
satalac 831 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 I could see them wanting a more campus type office should they relocate their corporate office here. It would be sweet if all of a sudden Tony announced that 505CST has a main tenant.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hey_Hey 1988 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Maybe 505CST could have a shooting range in one of the skydecks to help lure them here. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again, I doubt those in surrounding buildings would like it very much..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I purchased by flight before the last terrorist alert. I'm already scared. Hold me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nashvillwill 1536 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Hell, in Dubai, I imagine that for the right price you could probably skeet shoot off a 1000' building with live human beings as targets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captainwjm 90 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Well, if you read the article, it only suggests that one of Remington's factories may move - not the company headquarters, which is in NC. So, while the prospects for new manufacturing jobs is encouraging, there is nothing to suggest that this potential move could have any impact on office space, much less office construction.

You're right. I did read the "One of the nation’s largest gun manufacturers, Remington Arms, has looked at sites around Nashville for a potential corporate relocation or expansion that would likely include hundreds of manufacturing jobs." a bit incorrectly. I was thinking we'd get manufacturing and maybe one of their gun brand's hq's (they have several). Does look like it would just be manufacturing. Still wouldn't mind seeing 1200+ jobs relocate here.

UTgrad09 3661 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Either office jobs or manufacturing jobs is fine with me. A healthy economy is built on both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
