 Tennessee's economy surges forward with massive investments lighting up communities across the state. Korea Zinc announced its first U.S. operations, a staggering $6.6 billion project in Clarksville and Gordonsville that will create 420 high-quality jobs, marking the largest private investment in state history according to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. T.RAD North America selected Clarksville for its inaugural Tennessee site, investing $90.2 million and bringing 928 jobs to Montgomery County, as reported by the Southeast Tennessee Development District. Other boosts include ALUKO Group's nearly $110 million facility in Halls, Lauderdale County, adding almost 300 jobs, and CDF Distributors' $26 million expansion in Gallatin for 85 new positions.

The Boyd Center's 2026 Economic Outlook from the University of Tennessee projects positive but slow growth, with unemployment averaging 3.6 percent in 2025, just 0.5 points above the all-time low. Nuclear energy gains steam too, with a new UT partnership alongside Roane State and Tennessee College of Applied Technology building a workforce pipeline amid over 230 nuclear firms statewide.

In politics, the 114th General Assembly remains in recess after a busy session, with active bills tackling immigration enforcement like SB1464 on confidential records, tax exemptions for veterans via HB0052, and sales tax cuts on food in SB1367, per LegiScan. Education advances as Hamilton County details a $34 million upgrade to Soddy Daisy Middle School, including new classrooms and a gymnasium starting in 2026, and Kingsport plans a new Lynn Garden elementary. THEC's TN Direct Admissions pilot sent 45,000 personalized letters to high school seniors.

Weather watchers brace for impacts: a recent polar vortex dropped temperatures to the teens over December 13-14, while weak La Nina promises warmer winters overall but wetter conditions in West Tennessee, according to the National Weather Service and NOAA. Heavy rain and storms loom for Middle Tennessee today.

Looking Ahead: Watch for the legislative session's return, Clarksville projects breaking ground, and Christmas forecasts shifting warmer into the high 50s.
