Grundy County, TN, invests $150,000 and secures $1 million in grants for a workforce training center in a former armory. This initiative aims to enhance local education and attract businesses by developing a skilled workforce.

Grundy County, Tennessee has allocated $150,000 and secured $1 million in grants to purchase a former Army National Guard building along U.S. Highway 41 for workforce training. The former armory, valued at $1.2 million, will undergo rehabilitation with plans to start classes in about a year.
The 16,000-square-foot facility will be used for Tennessee College of Applied Technology classes, and may include culinary training spaces.
