It’s what TVA is all about. 

TVA knows that nothing contributes more to a high quality of life than sustained economic growth. That’s why we’re committed to furthering the Valley’s economic health by providing an abundance of services and financial resources to new and established businesses across the region.

TVA has played a key role in the Tennessee Valley’s economic fortunes since the 1930s, when it began generating the reliable, affordable power that has helped transform the region into the industrial powerhouse it is today. 

TVA Economic Development helps create or preserve tens of thousands of jobs for Valley workers each year, and our innovative loan and industrial incentive programs play a vital role in leveraging multimillion-dollar investments in the region. It’s our way of helping to make sure that the good times in the Valley keep on coming.
