Tennessee Valley Corridor? Contrasting Two Corridors: Both Nontraditional; One Established, The Other Emerging Presented to: "Innovations in Economic Development Forum" Presented by: Tom Ballard Director – Economic Development and Partnerships February 28, 2007 Contrasting two nontraditional corridors: One more than a decade old; the other just emerging in a virtual fashion OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY What is the Tennessee Valley Corridor? Key institutions and leaders in eight Congressional districts across four states working together to grow and attract the high-tech jobs of the future. • Led by Blue-Ribbon Board of Directors • Consults closely with Congressional leaders and key institutions • Strategically links the technology-rich Tennessee Valley Corridor from North Alabama through East Tennessee into Southwest Virginia and Southeast Kentucky The Tennessee Valley Corridor, a non-profit organization, has adopted the following mission: • To promote the Tennessee Valley as one of the nation’s premier science and technology centers • To leverage the abundant research and technology assets and institutions located throughout the Valley for maximum regional economic development and new job creation How did the Tennessee Valley Corridor start? Like any major initiative, it started with a visionary champion. • Newly elected Congressman Zach Wamp faced a major challenge in 1995 – end of the Cold War, aging facilities in Oak Ridge, and the likelihood of major program cutbacks. • Instead of accepting the situation, he turned adversity into opportunity by convening the first ever large scale event in Oak Ridge where community leaders focused on preserving the multi-billion dollar investments in Oak Ridge. How did the Tennessee Valley Corridor start? Like any successful initiative, it gained traction because of its visionary champion. • This inaugural event in 1995 was so successful (hundreds under a tent at times because the city lacked a facility to accommodate the large crowd) that Congressman Wamp decided to “Connect the Valley” and hold another event in Chattanooga in 1996. • The theme that began to emerge was working together across traditional political boundaries to leverage the assets of the Tennessee Valley for economic prosperity. How did the Tennessee Valley Corridor grow? The vision began to “take hold” and expand in the latter half of the 1990s. • Based on two years of success, the newly named Tennessee Valley Corridor Summit moved to Knoxville and a new Congressional district for the 1997 summit. • A third Congressional district was added in 1998 – Tennessee’s First – as well as Southwestern Virginia. • The TVC moved from an advisory board structure to a formally chartered 501(c)(6) in 1999. How did the Tennessee Valley Corridor grow? The momentum grew as we moved into the new century. • A third state (Alabama) joined the effort when the 2000 TVC Summit was held in Huntsville. This marked the addition of the Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal to the resource base as the TVC focused on its dual mottos – “Putting Science and Technology to Work” and “National Leadership through Regional Cooperation.” • We held our first ever event outside the region with a 2001 summit in Washington. • Finally, Kentucky was added in 2004.
