The announcement adds to a string of recent developments for the Nashville business community, which has seen steady growth over the past year.
"We've put a lot of work into getting this right, and we think people are going to notice the difference," said Nicole Taylor, chief executive in Nashville.
Company leaders point to Nashville's growing workforce and lower cost of doing business compared with larger metro markets. The move is expected to create or support roughly 60 jobs in the region over the next two years.
"This is exactly the kind of progress our community deserves." — Nicole Taylor
Local economic development officials say they will continue tracking the impact on jobs and tax revenue in the months ahead.
