Today's announcement that Amazon will invest more than $230 million and create 5,000 high-paying jobs in Davidson County is outstanding news for Tennessee, said Corker. Amazon executives extensively searched the region for an eastern U.S. hub, and the selection of Nashville is testament to our state's business-friendly environment and skilled workforce. With this being the single largest jobs announcement in state history, it is clear that Tennessee is firing on all cylinders. I thank Amazon for deepening their commitment to the Volunteer State and applaud Governor Haslam, Commissioner Rolfe, and their teams for working tirelessly to drive job creation and make our state one of the best places to do business in America. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
