 Tennessee wraps up 2025 with momentum in economic growth, education debates, and urban redevelopment amid unseasonably warm holiday weather. Korea Zinc announced the states largest ever investment, a $6.6 billion project in Clarksville and Gordonsville that will create 740 jobs over five years, bolstering the critical minerals supply chain, according to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. Governor Bill Lee and Commissioner Stuart McWhorter also revealed $4.3 million in Downtown Improvement Grants for 16 Main Street communities, funding facade and streetscape upgrades to spur local economies.

In politics, House Republicans plan to revive a Memphis-Shelby County Schools takeover bill in the 2026 session, with Chairman Mark White pushing an oversight board empowered to veto budgets and major contracts, Chalkbeat Tennessee reports. The measure, stalled after differing House and Senate versions, aims to address governance and performance issues, though critics decry it as eroding local control. Knoxvilles City Council welcomed new District 4 member Matthew DeBardelaben, who eyes priorities like the Gay Street Bridge reopening, per WATE 6 News. Rutherford County adopted PlanRutherford, a 20-year growth blueprint, while advancing a forensic center, waste station, and multi-purpose public safety buildings.

Education shows gains, with the Tennessee Department of Education reporting higher proficiency in English and math, especially in Rutherford, one of the states fastest-growing counties. Nashville's East Bank redevelopment surged, highlighted by the Titans $2.2 billion stadium topping out for a 2027 debut and a new Tennessee Performing Arts Center deal, Axios Nashville notes.

No major storms hit recently, but Nashville tied its Christmas Eve heat record at 76 degrees, chasing a 76-degree Christmas Day mark, FOX17 reports, with mild conditions persisting before a cold front.

Looking Ahead: The General Assembly reconvenes mid-January for potential Memphis schools action and budget talks; Rutherford unveils Poplar Hill Middle School in August amid rezoning; East Bank projects accelerate toward 2027.
