Bob Rolfe serves as commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. If you have been keeping up with the news lately, it will come as no surprise that Tennessee is a finalist to land what would be the largest project in the state’s history in terms of job creation. Global tech giant Oracle is considering expanding its U.S. information technology development footprint, and Nashville is a contender for this project. Along with 8,500 high-quality jobs that will provide exceptional wages, Oracle would invest $1.4 billion in Tennessee, of which $175 million would be used to make extensive infrastructure improvements to Nashville’s River North development.
