Nashville has made it to the list of “superstar” communities that have thrived and made the most gains after the crippling recession of 2008.

The center has become the heart of Nashville’s burgeoning economy today.
What’s even more encouraging for entrepreneurs in the city is that small businesses play a large role in the local economy. Of the 19,000 businesses here, 80% have no more than 20 employees.
