    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?
