Recently, Forbes ranked Nashville as the third best positioned city “to grow and prosper in the coming decade”, No. 6 on its list of the Best Places for Businesses and Careers and as the No. 4 “Brain Magnet” for gains in people with college educations.
Nashville’s current momentum is based, in part, on the plethora of attractive cultural and entertainment options, including:

- Successful and well-respected NFL and NHL franchises
