Provincial Programs Available in Nashville
These state-level and provincial grant programs are active and open to qualified businesses operating in the Nashville area:
FastTrack Job Training Assistance
Agency: TNECD
This is a popular, flexible grant. Unlike some states that reimburse colleges, TN often grants the cash directly to the company to handle its own training costs. It supports the acquisition of new skills for new employees.
FastTrack Infrastructure Development Program (FIDP)
Agency: TNECD
If a site lacks the necessary road access, water pressure, or rail spur, FIDP pays for it. The grant goes to the local government to make the improvements solely for the benefit of the expanding company.
FastTrack Economic Development Fund (EDF)
Agency: TNECD
The EDF is the "closing fund." It creates a grant to the local community, which is then legally passed through to the company to reimburse specific costs like retrofitting a building, moving equipment, or heavy site prep.
