Democrats’ 1,990 page bill actually increases

Blaine Business Park
November 5 –
U.S. Congressman Zach Wamp joined local business leaders and the

and created a solution that will help a ready and willing work
force find jobs, as well as bring new economic opportunities to
the region,” said Wamp. “Grainger County’s high unemployment
rate and the shortage of commercial and industrial land in the
regions, coupled with the automotive industry growth in East
Tennessee that is upon the horizon, provide a unique opportunity
for those looking to locate to the area and invest in East
Tennessee.”
