Today, we remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives serving our country. Because of their sacrifice, we are able to enjoy time with family, community, and the freedoms we often take for granted.
We are deeply thankful for those who served and wishing everyone a meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Congrats!! Well deserved!!

Exciting news 🎉

Our executive director, Alex G., is on this year's 20 Under 40 list, published by Chatter Magazine from the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

Green, 35, serves as the top business development and marketing director for Rhea County in his role at RheaECD. He also volunteers on various boards at Graysville Church of God, Dayton, TN Chamber of Commerce, Thrive Regional Partnership, Rhea Education Foundation and as a member at Dayton Tennessee Rotary Club.

For Green, external recognition of the great work happening at RheaECD is a signal to investors that Rhea County should be on the radar of any organization looking to start, build or grow a successful manufacturing, energy or trades-based business.
