CHAMBER CONNECTION TBDN Tennessee expands, creating 35 jobs in Jackson
T
BDN Tennessee Company’s decision recently to create 35 new jobs and invest $18.8 million at its Jackson facility is another example of how teamwork can foster economic development. TBDN manufactures air filters, air filter housings, oil filters and fuel filter systems for the automotive industry. With the expansion, TBDN will be able to produce new product lines and create new processes. “We are very happy to be able to bring this new business to Jackson,” TBDN Senior Manager of Human Resources Jill Austin said. “This investment has happened because we have dedicated and hard-working team members, and the support of great local community and government leaders.” Team Madison County, a collaboration of local and state officials led by the Jackson Chamber, works closely with existing companies like TBDN to help them grow. The group also recruits new companies to the area. Team members represent the city of Jackson, Madison County, Jackson Energy Authority, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the state of Tennessee. “The expansion of TBDN Tennessee emphasizes their accomplishments and the potential in our community for industries to thrive,” Madison County Mayor Jimmy Harris said. “Because of TDBN’s commitment to our
community, Jackson-Madison County continues to advance economically.” Jackson Mayor Jerry Gist said the expansion indicates that TBDN remains a strong supporter of Jackson, for which the city is thankful. “This expansion shows their success and enhances our city’s economic environment.” TBDN Tennessee Company is a joint venture between Toyota Boshoku Corporation and DENSO International America, Inc. Its customers include major automobile manufacturers and aftermarket distributors world-wide. “With over 920 automotive suppliers in Tennessee, it is always good news when one of those suppliers chooses to expand in our state,” said Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd. “Thanks, TBDN, for creating these valuable jobs in Jackson and for strengthening Team Tennessee.” The company joins a growing list of company expansion success stories for Team Madison County, including the recent announcement from General Cable. JMS Russel Metals Corporation, Gerdau, Novolex and Berry Plastics have also announced expansions. In addition, 835 new jobs were created by these and other existing companies between 2014 and 2015. To apply for an available position at TBDN, visit the TBDN plant at 1410 Hwy 70 Bypass or email resumes to careers@tbdn.com.

To celebrate their 100-year anniversary, Jackson Rotarians plan to gather on Aug. 3 at the Carl Grant Events Center at Union University. The featured speaker is John Germ, a Tennessean and president of Rotary International. Tom Aud and Joe Exum, both past presidents of the Rotary Club, have written a history of the club to celebrate and remember the past 100 years of service. The history recounts memories from 1916, when the 20 founding members met at the Southern Hotel in Downtown Jackson. The young group began their first major project in 1917, called the “The Great White Way,” which help put streetlights in downtown Jackson. It afforded Rotarians “an opportunity to be of real and lasting service to the city” and “drive the dark from the streets of Jackson,” according to the club’s history.

They co-founded their business and began traveling abroad to find one-of-a-kind items that their customers would love, and the company grew slowly but steadily in the 1960s and 1970s. As the business continued to grow, it evolved from a gift shop to a home dĂŠcor retailer. Through the years, its focus remained unchanged. Its stores continue to offer style and value with unique gifts and home dĂŠcor items that surprise customers on each visit, Madden said. “We’ve always been in the business of home dĂŠcor and accessories.â€? In 2002, the company went public. In 2005, the company left its mall roots and opened more than 200 stores in more acces-
sible shopping centers. The transition allowed Kirkland’s to expand the size and mix of its merchandise while making it easier for customers to purchase larger items for their homes, such as furniture. More than 90 percent of its stores are outside of malls today. In 2007, the company moved its headquarters from Jackson to Brentwood. However, it retains a strong presence in Jackson with a contingent of corporate personnel and a distribution center. Madden said Jackson is still an important part of the business. “The Jackson community has always been supportive,� he said. “We’re proud of the history we have in Jackson, and it means a lot to us. It’s a very strong place to be, and it’s always been a good place for us.�

Park next to the downtown library and supporting a Little League baseball team. From 1992-2012, many locals were proud to attend the Rotary Classic Women’s NAIA Basketball Tournament at Oman Arena and then Union University. In 2013, the basketball tournament was replaced with the Rotary Classic Golf Tournament, which has become the Jackson Rotary Club’s primary fundraiser. The golf tournament invites PGA professionals to participate in the scramble; local hotels, the Jackson Country Club and local businesses all participate to make the event a success to raise money for numerous charities. “We wanted to find a way to make our golf tournament unique, so we decided to invite PGA professionals to also participate in the scramble,” said Blake Williams, a former board member, past president and the rotary tournament’s director. “Last year, between Rotarian contributions and the tournament, we gave $9,000 to Youth Town, Star Center, Junior Rotarian scholarships and Madison-Haywood Developmental Center.” Williams was moved when he walked through the Madison-Haywood Developmental Center and saw the impact that Rotarian dollars have made to help adults with disabilities to lead productive lives.
Jackson Rotary Club enjoys a Rotary Spouses Dinner at the home of Frank Frankland on West King Street in the 1920’s. The Jackson Rotary Club also donates money to the Star Center to help adults relearn how to read after trauma. “Several years ago, Rotary International encouraged each club to add an educational aspect to their projects, so we started funding the Star Center’s computer room,” said Williams. Many Rotarians have become life-long members. Exum, for example, began as a Junior Rotarian in 1943. Exum became a club member in 1959 and served as president in 1963-1964. Since 1965, The Jackson Rotary Club has also sup-
ported Youth Town of Jackson. The Jackson club created Rotary Youth Town Endowment Fund Trust to secure permanent annual funds for Youth Town and also built two cottages for the boys of Youth Town. Through the Junior Rotarian program, the club awards $1,000 scholarships to a high school senior from each of the nine local high schools each year. “Being a rotarian is all about serving community,” said Katie Pace, Jackson Rotary Club president. “It’s humbling to look back over 100 years and see the lives changed in our city through the donations and service of our club.”

LIFT named a ‘green building’
W
est Tennessee Healthcare’s LIFT Wellness Center achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, a prestigious environmental rating developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. While addressing the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings and communities, LEED inspires project teams to seek innovative solutions that are better for the environment and communities. The LIFT, which is more than 84,000 square feet, recycled 73 percent of construction waste, reduced water use by 35 percent and used 23 percent of materials from local sources. Jackson-based Crocker Construction served as construction partner, and a green housekeeping program was put in place to ensure the interior environ-
ment remains healthy for occupants. “The LIFT Wellness Center efficiently uses our natural resources and makes an immediate, positive impact on our planet, which will tremendously benefit future generations to come,” said Rick Fedrizzi, the council’s CEO. Located downtown, the LIFT Wellness Center is the area’s only medical fitness center. It combines medical fitness, lifestyle education and a community-wide focus to deliver an improved quality of life to the whole region. “The decision to pursue LEED certification was an easy one,” said Lisa Piercey, MD, executive vice president of West Tennessee Healthcare. “We already had a solid, sustainable foundation in place, and LEED was an avenue for us to promote our accomplishments and environmental stewardship.”
