Nashville is a prospering city that offers a high quality of living in a low-cost business environment. The state of Tennessee has no personal income tax and the city of Nashville has a low overall tax burden.
In 2017, Forbes ranked Nashville as the third best big city for jobs in the U.S. and number 7 on the list of top 25 fastest growing cities of 2018.
Nashville’s current momentum is based, in part, on the plethora of attractive cultural and entertainment options, including:

- Successful and well-respected NFL and NHL franchises
- World-class symphony has received 14 GRAMMY® nominations and seven wins
