Waterways
Some $3.5 billion of new and expanded industrial development have located in the waterway region since its completion. The Tenn-Tom passes through part of the "Wood Basket" of the nation. About 4 million tons of forestry products are shipped on the waterway each year.
The Tenn-Tom, with its low cost transportation and abundant water supplies, is only one of several important assets this region claims for sustaining industrial growth. Others include:
- Abundant natural resources, including coal, oil and gas, minerals, and forests;
- Trained labor force with strong work ethic;
- Lower energy costs and other similar measures that reduce production costs;
- Full range of competitive transportation services; and
- An enviable quality of life.
